What is a titanium anode？

Titanium is titanium anode substrate 

Titanium is a metallic element, gray in color, with atomic number 22 and relative atomic mass 47.867. It can be burned in nitrogen and has a high melting point. Blunt titanium and titanium-based alloys are new structural materials, mainly used in the aerospace and maritime industries. Because titanium has the characteristics of high melting point, low specific gravity, high specific strength, good toughness, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, low thermal conductivity, good uneven temperature tolerance, and low stress under rapid cooling and heating conditions, its commercial value has been in the twentieth century. It began to be known in the 1950s and was used in high-tech fields such as aviation and aerospace. With its continuous promotion to industries such as chemical industry, petroleum, electric power, seawater desalination, construction, and daily necessities, titanium metal is increasingly valued and is known as modern metal, intelligent metal, and strategic metal. It is indispensable for improving the level of national defense equipment. strategic materials.

Titanium anodes are titanium-based metal oxide coated anodes

The role of metal oxide coating is: low resistivity, good conductivity (titaniumitself has poor conductivity), stable chemical composition, stable crystalstructure, stable electrode size, good corrosion resistance, long service life,and electrocatalytic performance of precious metal coating. lt is beneficial toreduce the overpotential of oxygen evolution and chlorine evolutionreaction and save electric energy.

Therefore, during the use of the anode, it is particularly important to payattention to the coating on the surface of the anode.

Titanium anodes come in a variety of coatings

Platinum Coated Titanium Anodes

Platinized titanium anodes, also known as platinum anodes, consist of a titanium base coated with a platinum layer, typically ranging from 0.2 to 5 micrometers thick. This platinum coating enhances the anode’s electrochemical properties, making it suitable for various applications.

Platinum titanium plates electrode is mostly employed in water ionizer recently. As an inert material, platinum does not react with the electrolytes or products during electrolysis. It also offers excellent electrical conductivity enable to increases the longevity of the machine.

Ruthenium Iridium Titanium Anodes

A Ruthenium-Iridium Coated Titanium Anode is a high-performance electrode that harnesses the catalytic efficiency of ruthenium and the exceptional antioxidant capacity of iridium. This combination results in an electrode that excels in various industrial applications, such as chlorine production, corrosion prevention, electroplating, and water treatment. It is particularly valued for its low chlorine evolution potential and high oxygen evolution potential, making it an ideal choice for these applications.

Ruthenium-iridium coated titanium anodes are commonly used in fruit and vegetable disinfection machines. Ruthenium-iridium coated electrodes enhance the performance of fruit and vegetable disinfection equipment, ensuring the complete removal of harmful microorganisms. Its robust coating extends electrode life, which translates into a more efficient and effective disinfection cycle, which is critical for food safety.

In a word ，The coating formula can be tailored to different operating environments. With improved nanoscale refined grains, the coating bonds better with the substrate and provides stronger electrocatalytic action.The oxygen evolution overpotential is high, which reduces the amount of oxygen evolved, extends the electrode's service life, and provides good corrosion resistance.The size and shape of the anode can be processed and customized according to the actual working conditions, meeting different demands.Anode recoating services are available based on the wear of the anode coating. The substrate can be reused without excessive wear, saving costs for the user.
