Platinum Coated Titanium Mesh Electrode

Quick details of Platinum Coated Titanium Mesh Electrode

titanium mesh Electrode uses gr1 titanium as the substrate and brushes a platinum coating on the surface

Imported brush plating sintering process

Pt purity 99%

Coating thickness 0.1-15mm

Substrate fully plated with platinum

Application Note for Platinum Coated Titanium Mesh Electrode

The Platinum Coated Titanium Mesh Electrode is fully immersed in the ion-conducting solution as a counter electrode. An electric current is passed between the working electrode and the Platinum Coated Titanium Mesh Electrode for a certain amount of time. After the process, the electrode should be washed several times with ethanol and dried under the nitrogen flow. Store the electrode in a dedicated compartment to avoid scratching. Discoloration may indicate the degradation (dissolution) of the Platinum layer and oxidation of Titanium mesh. 
This electrode is used mainly in systems where there is a high risk of its contamination by organic or inorganic deposit during the electrochemical reaction. It is also a cheap replacement for pure Platinum electrode in electrodeposition processes.

Advantages of the sintering process for titanium mesh electrode

1. Platinum titanium electrode, also called sintered titanium-based platinum coated anodes, use a sintering process that effectively extends the life of the titanium anode.
2. Platinum anodes fail because the platinum layer falls off rather than the coating is depleted.
3. In contrast, sintered anodes are manufactured with the coating treated at high temperatures, which extends the service life.
