ELECTRODE FOR ELECTROLYSIS, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME, AND ELECTROLYTIC CELL HAVING THIS ELECTRODE FOR ELECTROLYSIS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrode which can drastically improve current efficiency and can rapidly perform a desired reaction, a method for manufacturing the same, and an electrolytic cell using this electrode. SOLUTION: The electrode 5 for electrolysis is obtained by three-dimensionally forming a hydrogen occlusion material 3 which is an electrode active material on the surface of an electrode base material 1. Atomic hydrogen which is occluded into the hydrogen occlusion material and has high activity is usable as a hydrogenation source and the hydrogen occlusion material has a three-dimensional structure and has an immense increase of its surface area. The current efficiency of the target hydrogenation reaction etc., is improved by the synergistic effects of both. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
