Abstract
The present study highlights the importance of anodes in electrocatalytic oxidation processes, with a focus on providing new insights into the modifications of Ti/SnO2 anode to enhance its performance and lifetime service. Modifications with dodecyl sulfate surfactant, silicon carbide nanoparticles, and silica interlayers were thoroughly investigated to achieve this goal. The modified electrodes were thoroughly characterized in terms of morphology, crystalline structure, surface composition, and electrochemical properties. Electrochemical evaluations revealed substantial improvements in oxygen evolution potential, conductivity, service lifetime, and electrocatalytic performance for all modified electrodes. Among the investigated modifications, the Ti/SiO2/SnO2 electrode exhibited the most improvement in all aspect, particularly in charge transfer resistance and service lifetime. Notably, this electrode had a 4.12-fold increase in service lifetime compared to the unmodified Ti/SnO2, making it a very promising candidate for practical applications in electrocatalytic oxidation processes.
期刊介绍:
Electrochimica Acta is an international journal. It is intended for the publication of both original work and reviews in the field of electrochemistry. Electrochemistry should be interpreted to mean any of the research fields covered by the Divisions of the International Society of Electrochemistry listed below, as well as emerging scientific domains covered by ISE New Topics Committee.
