Ternary IrO 2 -Sb 2 O 5 -SnO 2 anode has shown its superiorities over IrO 2 and many other electrocatalysts for O 2 evolution, in terms of electrochemical stability, activity and cost. The performance of IrO 2 -Sb 2 O 5 -SnO 2 anodes is affected by its electrochemical properties and operating conditions. In this paper, the electrochemical stability and activity of the Ti/IrO 2 -Sb 2 O 5 -SnO 2 anodes prepared with three different geometries were investigated under different operating conditions. It was found that anodes with large mean curvature have high electrochemical stability. Although increasing temperature results in a decrease in the stability of Ti/IrO 2 -Sb 2 O 5 -SnO 2 , the anode with a mean curvature of 200 m -1 still shows acceptable service life even at 70°C. This tolerance of high temperature was attributed to the thermal expansion difference between the substrate and the coating layer, the redox window for Ir(V)/ Ir(IV) conversion, and the redox reversibility of Sb and Sn species in the coating layer.
