Catalytic Coating

DSA® electrodes are activated by depositing layers of noble catalytic oxides in succession, which enable or facilitate electrochemical reactions.

Coating formulations are based on metals of the platinum family such as iridium, ruthenium, platinum, palladium, and rhodium.

The composition and deposition process determine the characteristics of the coating, favoring the desired reaction, while inhibiting undesirable side reactions. 

Coating thickness range from 1 to 100 microns and require compliance with strict deposition protocols.
