The influence of the addition of methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol and 2-propanol
to the dispersing medium of amixture of RuO2 and TiO2 sols on the
electrochemically active surface area for proton exchange, as well as on the
electrocatalytic activity for the chlorine evolution reaction (CER) of
RuO2-TiO2/Ti electrode obtained by sol-gel procedure was investigated. The
electrochemically active surface area was examined by cyclic voltammetry,
while the analysis of the activity for the CER was performed by polarization
measurements. The stability of the obtained anode coatings was also checked
by an accelerated stability test. The anode properties depend on the number
of C atoms in the alcohol molecule, as well as on the elapsed time between
the preparation of the sols/alcohol mixture and its application onto the
titanium support. The addition of alcohol increased the activity of the
anodes for the CER, compared to those prepared without the addition, but
their stability was smaller.
