Abstract
The present invention relates to an electrolytic electrode comprising a core material made of a valve metal, a dense electrically conductive tin oxide layer formed on the core material, an .alpha.-lead dioxide layer formed on the tin oxide layer, and a .beta.-lead dioxide layer formed on the .alpha.-lead dioxide layer. The present invention also relates to a method for preparing the electrolytic electrode.
Claims2
A method of producing an electrolytic electrode comprising the steps of:
- electrodepositing a tin plating layer on a surface of a core material wherein said core material is made of a valve metal,
- coating an electrically conductive substance on the tin plating layer and oxidizing by thermal decomposition wherein said coating and oxidizing steps are repeatedly performed and convert the tin plating layer into a dense electrically conductive tin oxide layer,
- electrodepositing an .alpha.-lead dioxide layer on the dense electrically conductive tin oxide layer, and
- electrodepositing a .beta.-lead dioxide layer on the .alpha.-lead dioxide layer.
