Abstract
Abstract An improved electrode having an electroconductive metal support or core at least superficially made of titanium or a titanium alloy and a catalytic coating on the titanium metal surface including (a) at least one substance from the group consisting of the platinum group metals and their oxides and (b) an oxide of tellurium. This novel electrode is particularly adapted for use in the electrolysis of aqueous solution of alkali metal halides.
