Description

Elektroden, insbesondere Kathoden, für elektrolytische Zellen zur Wasserzersetzung Bekanntlich ist die Oberflächenbeschaffenheit der Elektroden, besonders der Kathoden, bei iebektrolytischen Zellen zur Wasserzersetzung von wesentlichen EinfllÜß auf die Größe der Brei rauhen Oberflächen der Elektroden wird die Zellenspannung, wie an sich bekannt ist, reduziert. Eine bloße mec'h'anische Aufrauhung genügt aber nicht. Es ist hekanntgleworden, auf den Elektroden auf !elektrolytischem Wege !einte ploröse Metallschicht zu ieraeugen; es hat sich aber gezeigt, daß. dieser Überzug nicht genügend dauerhaft ist.Electrodes, especially cathodes, for electrolytic cells for Water decomposition It is well known that the surface properties of the electrodes are special the cathodes, in electrolytic cells for the water decomposition of essential Influence on the size of the pulp rough surfaces of the electrodes is the cell voltage, as is known per se, reduced. A mere mec'h'an roughening is sufficient not. It has become known that electrodes were! United by electrolytic means Plorous metal layer to be seen; but it has been shown that. this coating is not sufficiently durable.

Gemäß der Erfindung besteht der Überzug aus einer Metall- bzw. aus einer Metalloxydschicht, die auf die Elektrodenplatten mittels des bekannten Metallspritzverfahrens aufgetragen worden ist. Die hierdurch :erhaltene disperse poröse Schicht ist außerordentlich. dauerhaft. Die Spannungsreduzierung der auf diese Weise behandelten (formierten) Elektroden gegenüber nichtformierten Elektroden ist .ganz erheblich: Der Effekt wird :noch ,erhöht, wenn beim Metallspritzen - mit stark oxydierendier Flamme gearbeitet wird.According to the invention, the coating consists of a metal or a metal oxide layer, which is applied to the electrode plates by means of the known metal spraying process has been applied. The resulting dispersed porous layer is extraordinary. continuous. The stress reduction of the (formed) treated in this way Electrodes compared to non-formed electrodes is quite significant: the effect is: still, increased, when working with metal spraying - with a strongly oxidizing flame will.

Wie Versuche ergeben haben, kommen die gemäß der Erfindung hergestellten Elektroden üi ihnen Eigenschaften völlig übierspannumgsfreien Elektroden sehr nahe, Die Spannung bei Zellen mit nichtformierten Elektroden liegt !etwa um 1/1o bis 2/IO V höher als bei Zellen mit Elektroden gemäß der Erfindung. Bei einer Stromdichte von -IoA/dm2 beträgt unter sonst gleichen Verhältnissera die Spannung bei Zellen mit nichtformierten Kafhoden 2,i¢5 V; bei Zellen mit Kathoden, die gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung formiert wurden, nur 1,95o V bei einer Stromdichte von 15 A/dm2 2,22 V gegenüber 2,025 V, bei 2o A/dm2 2,315 V gegenüber 2"12 V. -Dieser Effekt der Zellen mit formierten Elektroden ist von !erheblicher wirtschaftlicher Bedeutung, denn er erlaubt bei gleicher Zellenspannung eine mehr als doppelte spezifsche Strombelastung solcher Zellen gegenüber Zellen mit nichtformierben Elektroden. Infolged,essien ist für die Herstellung einer bestimmten Wasserstoffmenge nur die halbe Anzahl Zellen als bisher erforderlich.As tests have shown, the electrodes produced according to the invention come very close to their properties with completely overvoltage-free electrodes. The voltage in cells with non-formed electrodes is about 1/10 to 2/10 V higher than for cells with electrodes according to the invention. At a current density of -IoA / dm2, all other things being equal, the voltage in cells with non-formed cells is 2, 1 ¢ 5 V; for cells with cathodes which have been formed according to the present invention, only 1.95o V at a current density of 15 A / dm2 2.22 V compared to 2.025 V, at 2o A / dm2 2.315 V compared to 2 "12 V. This effect of cells with formed electrodes is of considerable economic importance, because it allows a more than double specific current load of such cells compared to cells with non-formed electrodes with the same cell voltage. As a result, only half the number of cells is required for the production of a certain amount of hydrogen than before .
