Product Overview
IrTa Titanium Rod Anode is a high-performance mixed metal oxide (MMO) titanium electrode manufactured using high-purity titanium rod substrate coated with iridium oxide and tantalum oxide. The electrode is specially designed for demanding oxygen evolution and industrial electrolysis applications requiring excellent electrocatalytic activity, superior corrosion resistance, and stable long-term operation.
Compared with conventional electrode materials such as graphite rods, stainless steel electrodes, and lead alloy electrodes, IrTa Titanium Rod Anode offers significantly improved electrochemical performance and operational stability under aggressive electrolysis conditions.
The iridium-tantalum MMO coating system provides excellent catalytic activity for oxygen evolution reactions (OER). Iridium oxide improves oxygen evolution efficiency and lowers overpotential, while tantalum oxide enhances coating durability and corrosion resistance.
The rod structure provides excellent mechanical strength, stable conductivity, and flexible installation capability. Compared with plate electrodes, titanium rod anodes are easier to install in compact electrolysis equipment and cylindrical reaction systems.
IrTa Titanium Rod Anode is widely used in PEM water electrolysis, electrochemical oxidation, industrial wastewater treatment, electrochemical disinfection, laboratory electrochemical systems, and advanced industrial electrolysis equipment.
The titanium rod substrate maintains excellent dimensional stability during long-term electrolysis operation, ensuring stable electrode spacing and consistent electrochemical performance.
As electrochemical industries increasingly demand long-lifetime and high-efficiency electrode materials, IrTa Titanium Rod Anode has become an important solution for modern industrial electrochemical systems.
