The behavior of Ti‐supported Pt‐Ir alloys in the electrolysis of
normalNaCl
has been examined as a function of Ir content,
normalNaCl
concentration, and electrolysis time. Short‐time experiments show that an iridium content as low as 0.5% is sufficient to eliminate almost completely the passivation effects (in 1M and saturated
normalNaCl
solution). Long‐run experiments make clear that the minimum percentage of 5/10% Ir is necessary in order to have low potentials after thousands of hours; in such a case, however, complicating factors such as mechanical stability and chemical corrosion should be taken into account.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
