Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is an electrode for use in electrochemical processes wherein a metal substrate made of a valve metal such as titanium carries an electrocatalytically active coating such as an oxide selected from the group consisting of manganese, iron, cobalt, or nickel applied in a series of layers wherein particles of fibers of various filler materials such as titanium, other valve metals, tin oxide, titanium oxides, manganese oxide, quartz, silica, and alumina were admixed with the top coating material.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
An electrode for use in an electrolytic cell comprising: a valve metal substrate selected from the group consisting of aluminum, molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, titanium, tungsten, zirconium, and alloys thereof having on the surface of at least a portion of said valve metal substrate, an electrocatalytically active coating selected from the group consisting of oxides of manganese, iron, cobalt, and nickel having incorporated therein electrically conducting particles selected from the group consisting of tin and antimony oxides, titanium oxides, manganese oxide and valve metals.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
An electrode for use in an electrolytic cell comprising: a valve metal substrate selected from the group consisting of aluminum, molybdenum, niobium, tantalum, titanium, tungsten, zirconium, and alloys thereof having on the surface of at least a portion of said valve metal substrate, an electrocatalytically active coating selected from the group consisting of oxides of manganese, iron, cobalt, and nickel having incorporated therein electrically conducting particles selected from the group consisting of tin and antimony oxides, titanium oxides, manganese oxide and valve metals.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
An electrode according to claim 1 having a semi-conductive intermediate coating of tin and antimony compounds applied and converted to their respective oxides underneath said electrocatalytically active coating and has between 0.1 and 30 weight percent of antimony oxide based on the total weight of tin oxide and antimony oxide.
