Abstract:
    Electrodes for use in electrochemical processes, particularly as cathodes for hydrogen evolution in cells for the electrolysis of alkali metal halides, said electrodes comprising an electrocatalytic ceramic coating obtained by thermal deposition. Elements of the groups IB, IIB, IIIA, IVA, VA, V B, VI A, VI B and VIII are added to the solutions or dispersions of precursor compounds of electrocatalytic ceramic materials, said solutions or dispersions being thermally decomposed to obtain the coating. The surface of the doped coating thus obtained is substantially immune to poisoning by metal impurities, when the electrode according to the present invention is used as cathode in poisoned alkali solutions.
