초록

졸-겔 공정으로 다양한 조성의 미세다공성 RuO₂-TiO₂ 전극을 제조하고 그 물리적 및 전기화학적 특성을 분석하였다. Titanium isopropoxide와 ruthenium chloride hydrate를 전구체로 사용하고 isopropyl alcohol을 용매로 사용하여 상온에서 안정하고 균일한 졸을 얻었다. 산화물 중에서 RuO₂의 mole 비율이 증가할수록 활성물질의 절대량은 증가하였으나, 입자가 성장하여 표면이 거칠어지고 비표면적은 감소하였다. Tafel plot과 anodic polarization curve로부터 40 mol%의 RuO₂를 함유하는 전극이 산소 발생 반응에 대한 높은 교환전류밀도와 낮은 과전압으로 전기화학적 활성이 높고 에너지 효율이 우수함을 확인하였다.

Microporous RuO₂-TiO₂ binary metal oxide electrodes with various compositions were prepared by the sol-gel process. Ruthenium chloride hydrate and titanium isopropoxide were used as precursors, and isopropyl alcohol was used as a solvent. Sol solutions were stable and uniform at room temperature. With increasing mole ratio of RuO₂ in the metal oxide electrode, RuO₂ particle grow on the electrode surface and specific surface area was decreased. From Tafel plots and anodic polarization curves, the binary metal oxide electrode with 40% RuO₂ showed the highest exchange current density and the lowest overpotential for oxygen evolution.
