Abstract:
The invention relates to an electrode for evolution of gaseous products in electrolysis cells comprising a metal substrate coated with at least two catalytic compositions, the outermost catalytic composition being deposited by means of chemical or physical phase vapour deposition technique and having a composition comprising noble metals selected from the group of platinum group metals or oxides thereof.

The invention relates to a method of manufacturing of metal electrodes for electrolytic applications by means of a continuous deposition of a layer of noble metals upon metal substrates by a physical vapour deposition technique.
Abstract:
A cathode for electrolytic processes, particularly suitable for hydrogen evolution in chloralkali electrolysis consists of a metal substrate provided with a catalytic coating made of two layers containing palladium, rare earths (such as praseodymium) and a noble component selected between platinum and ruthenium. The rare earth percent amount by weight is lower in the outer layer than in the inner layer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a cathode for electrolytic processes, particularly suitable for hydrogen evolution in chlor-alkali electrolysis, consisting of a nickel substrate provided with a coating comprising a protective zone containing palladium and a physically distinct catalytic activation containing platinum or ruthenium optionally mixed with a highly oxidising metal oxide, preferably chromium or praseodymium oxide.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a cathode for electrolytic processes provided with a catalytic coating based on ruthenium crystallites with highly controlled size falling in a range of 1- 10 nm. The coating can be produced by physical vapour deposition of a ruthenium or ruthenium oxide layer.

Abstract:
An electrode suitable for chlorine evolution in electrolysis cells consists of a metal substrate coated with two distinct compositions applied in alternate layers, the former comprising oxides of iridium, ruthenium and valve metals, for instance tantalum, and the latter comprising oxides of iridium, ruthenium and tin. The thus-obtained electrode couples excellent characteristics of anodic potential and selectivity towards the chlorine evolution reaction.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electrode for electrochemical generation of hypochlorite. The electrode comprises a valve metal substrate coated with a catalytic system consisting of two super-imposed layers of distinct composition and having a different activity towards hypochlorite anodic generation from chloride solutions. The electrode has a high duration in cathodic operation conditions, imparting self-cleaning characteristics thereto when used in combination with an equivalent one with periodic polarity reversal. Moreover, the deactivation of the electrode at the end of its life cycle occurs in two subsequent steps, allowing to schedule the substitution thereof with a significant notice period.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a cathode for electrolytic processes with evolution of hydrogen consisting of a metal substrate with a noble metal-based activation and two protective layers, one interposed between the activation and the substrate and one external, containing an electroless-depositable alloy an of a metal selected between nickel, cobalt and iron with a non-metal selected between phosphorus and boron, with the optional addition of a transition element selected between tungsten and rhenium.
