    Abstract: The present invention provides a simple method for producing an electrode having improved oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity without a need for catalyst coating and an electrode produced by this production method. The method is a method for producing an electrode including a step of subjecting an electrically conductive substrate comprising a nickel alloy comprising 30 to 70% by mass of Ni and 30 to 70% by mass of Fe, provided that Ni+Fi=100% by mass, to a thermal treatment, and a step of etching the thermally treated electrically conductive substrate with an etchant comprising at least any acid of an organic acid and a weak inorganic acid. The electrode is an electrode that is produced by this production method and that is useful as an oxygen evolution anode or the like.

    Abstract: There is provided an aqueous solution electrolysis method that makes it possible to reduce the amount of bubbles covering an electrode and generate gases such as hydrogen and oxygen with excellent energy efficiency. The method is an electrolysis method for electrolyzing an aqueous-solution-based electrolyte to generate at least any one of hydrogen, oxygen, and chlorine, wherein the electrolyte contains a water-soluble alcohol. For example, as the electrolyte, an alkali aqueous solution containing about 0.1 to about 10% by volume of a water-soluble alcohol including a tertiary alcohol, such as 2-methylpropan-2-ol and 2-methylbutan-2-ol, and about 1 to 10 mol/L of an alkali component may be subjected to water electrolysis, and the electrolyte is electrolyzed using, for example, an electrolytic cell having an anode chamber and a cathode chamber.
