CATHODE FOR HYDROGEN GENERATION AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

摘要

Disclosed is an excellently durable cathode for hydrogen generation, which has a low hydrogen overpotential and reduced fall-off of a catalyst layer against the reverse current generated when the electrolysis vessel is stopped.  A method for producing the cathode for hydrogen generation is also disclosed.  The cathode for hydrogen generation has a conductive base and a catalyst layer formed on the conductive base, and the catalyst layer contains crystalline iridium oxide, platinum and an iridium-platinum alloy.
