PREPARATION AND USE OF THALLIUM PALLADATE AS COVER LAYER OF METAL ANODES

摘要

A process for the production of thallium palladate (T1Pd3O4) a cardinal red face centred cubic crystalline compound when pure and if stoichiometric composition, in which thallic oxide is reacted with palladium monoxide at a temperature in the range 500-600.degree.C. The thallic oxide May be derived from thallous nitrate and the palladium monoxide may be mixed either with the thallous nitrate or added after formation of the thallic oxide. Thallium palladate is useful as an electrochemically active cover layer for metal anodes.
