Stainless steel anodes for alkaline water electrolysis and methods of making

Title: Stainless steel anodes for alkaline water electrolysis and methods of making

Abstract

The corrosion resistance of stainless steel anodes for use in alkaline water electrolysis was increased by immersion of the stainless steel anode into a caustic solution prior to electrolysis. Also disclosed herein are electrolyzers employing the so-treated stainless steel anodes. The pre-treatment process provides a stainless steel anode that has a higher corrosion resistance than an untreated stainless steel anode of the same composition.

Dimensionally stable anode for electrolysis, method for maintaining dimensions of anode during electrolysis

Patent Hryn, John N.; Pellin, Michael J.; Wolsky, Alan M.; ...

A dimensionally stable electrode is provided comprising a hollow substrate with an open upper end for confining a fluid containing a metal, a film covering portions of the external surface; and a mechanism for replenishing the film. Also provided is a method for maintaining the dimensions of an anode during electrolysis comprising adapting an interior surface of the anode to receive a fluid containing a metal, facilitating transport of the metal to an exterior surface of the anode, forming a protective film on the exterior surface, wherein the transported metal is a cation of the formed protective film, and maintainingmore »« less
