Non-noble metal catalysts for oxygen depolarized cathodes and their application in chlor-alkali electrolysis cells

Background There is an increasing demand for chlorine in the last several decades, and the worldwide chlorine production exceeds 60 million metric tons per year in 2013. The current state of the art in chlorine production involves electrolysis of sodium chloride using a membrane-based chlor-alkali technology where the cathode reaction involves hydrogen...

Non-noble Metal Based ODC Cathodes for Chlorine Evolution Processes

INV-13048 Background Use of “depolarizers” in electrolytic reactions helps lower input electrical energy in electrochemical processes. For example, in batteries depolarizers help prevent buildup of hydrogen gas bubbles thereby preventing the voltage, and thereby current, from being reduced. Among the known depolarizers, including sulfur...
