应用热分解氧化法制备Ni-Ru-Ir氧化物活性阴极.循环伏安、Tafel曲线及计时电流测试表明,在90℃、30%(bymass)的NaOH溶液中,电流密度0.3A·cm-2条件下,Ru∶Ir质量比为1∶1的Ni-Ru-Ir氧化物电极的析氢过电位比Ni电极低300mV;表面粗糙度是Ni网电极的32倍;交换电流密度是Ni网电极的4倍;其析氢性能显然远优于Ni网电极,有望应用于氯碱工业以期降低能耗.

The Ni-Ru-Ir electrode coating was fabricated by thermal decomposition and oxidation. Electrochemical properties of Ni-Ru-Ir electrode coating and pure nickel cathode in the 30% NaOH solutions at 90 ℃( conditions of the industrial electrolysis) ,have been investigated by cyclic voltammetry,Tafel curves and chronoamperometry. The results show that the Ni-Ru-Ir oxide electrode coating exhibited high catalytic activity. At the current density of 0. 3 A·cm-2,the lowest hydrogen evolution overpotential of Ni-Ru-Ir oxide electrode coating was about 300 mV lower than Ni. The roughness and excharge current density of Ni-Ru-Ir electrode coating were 32 and 4 times,respectively,larger than those of pure nickel cathode. Hence,the Ni-Ru-Ir oxide electrode is expected to be able to reduce energy consumption of chlor-alkali industry.
