    Abstract: A porous, high surface area electrode comprising a fine fibrous conductive substrate having a density less than about 50 % and a specific surface area to volume ratio of greater than about 30 cm2/cm3. The individual fibers of the substrate have a length to diameter aspect ratio greater than 1000 : 1. An electrocatalyst covers at least a portion of the substrate. A current distributor is electrically connected to the coated substrate. The method of fabricating the electrode includes fabricating a fine fibrous conductive substrate, preparing the surface of the substrate for receiving an electrocatalyst covering thereon, preparing the electrocatalyst for application to the substrate and applying the electrocatalyst to the substrate. Optionally, the electrode may be further treated to promote adhesion of the electrocatalyst to the substrate or to form an intermetallic or alloy with the substrate.

    Abstract: A self-supporting reticulate of titanium hydride (TiH 2 ) is formed by slurry-coating an open cell organic synthetic resinous material, or other pore-former, and eliminating the carbon-containing components of binder and/or solvent, viscosity modifiers, thickening agents, and the like at a temperature below about 400°C. In an analogous manner, an inorganic refractory material open cell substrate or other pore-former substrate may be slurry-coated and converted to a TiH 2 reticulate in which the substrate is coated with TiH 2 to yield a supported TiH 2 reticulate. Either the self-supporting TiH 2 reticulate, or the supported one, free of carbonaceous material, may be sintered to yield an essentially pure Ti (metal) reticulate which is essentially free of titanium carbide. Ti reticulates so formed are coated with Pt group metal oxides and used as anodes in chloralkali cells.

    Abstract: A hydrogen-evolution electrode having a coating containing an oxide of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of nickel, cobalt and silver has been found to exhibit extremely low hydrogen overvoltage and to have not only high catalytic activity but also high durability. When the electrode having a reduced coating fabricated by reduction of said coating containing the oxide of said at least one metal, the resulting electrode exhibits extremely low hydrogen overvoltage even if the proportion of the oxide or oxides in the coating is small. Further, the electrode having a composite coating in which, beside the oxide of said at least one metal, at least one metal or oxide thereof which metal has a valency smaller than that of the first-mentioned at least one metal is additionally present in said coating, the electrode exhibits further extremely low hydrogen overvoltage, even if the proportion of oxide in the coating is large.
