Jl. Fernandez et al., RUTHENIUM DIOXIDE FILMS ON TITANIUM WIRE ELECTRODES BY SPRAY-PYROLYSIS - PREPARATION AND ELECTROCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION, Journal of Applied Electrochemistry, 27(12), 1997, pp. 1323-1327
A device for the preparation of thick and uniform films of ruthenium d
ioxide on titanium wires by the spray pyrolysis technique has been dev
eloped. The details of the apparatus, as well as the operation conditi
ons, are described. The electrodes obtained were characterized by X-ra
y diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy and cyclic voltam
metry. Their electrocatalytic activity for chlorine evolution were als
o evaluated, as well as their stability through an accelerated test of
service life.
