Abstract
Abstract An electrode for electrochemical processes comprising a graphite base having, in its pores, metals or compounds of metals possessing electrocatalytical properties and being in an electric contact with graphite; an electrochemically inert organic compound insoluble in the electrolyte and having its dropping point and/or the temperature of transition to the gas state exceeding the electrode temperature during electrolysis. A process for producing the electrode of the present invention comprises introduction, into the graphite base pores, successively metals or oxides of metals possessing electrocatalytic properties, and then an electrochemically inert organic compound insoluble in the electrolyte and having its dropping point and/or the temperature of transition to the gas stage exceeding the electrode temperature during electrolysis.
