Abstract
This work is devoted to the development of a low cost dimensionally stable anode with high oxygen evolution catalytic activity for practical applications. For this purpose, a Ti/SnOx/MnO2 anode was fabricated through an innovative strategy involving Sn electrodeposition, oxidation, and MnO2-layer preparation. The structure of the anode was characterized, and the oxygen evolution performance was evaluated in a H2SO4 solution. The results show that compared with the Ti/SnO2/MnO2 anode prepared by the conventional brushing−annealing process, the Ti/SnOx/MnO2 anode fabricated through the innovative procedure exhibits a lower oxygen evolution potential and a nearly 40% longer accelerated lifespan. The superior oxygen evolution performance of the Ti/SnOx/MnO2 anode is attributed to the distinctive SnOx intermediate layer fabricated through Sn electrodeposition followed by oxidation, which indicates the great potential of the anode as a dimensionally stable anode for metal electrowinning and hydrogen production by electrolysis, etc.
