Producing sulfur tetrafluoride using amine/hydrogen fluoride complex

This invention presents low hydrogen overvoltage electrode which comprises a plated metal layer of nickel or cobalt which contains partially exposed particles made of nickel or cobalt on an electrode substrate, the surface of which particles does not contain oxygen, which concentration is more than 150 ppm, and process for preparing such electrode, which comprises codepositing electrically and electrophoretically nickel or cobalt particles with nickel or cobalt from a dispersed solution which contains Cl.sup.- of the concentration of not less than 30 gCl.sup.- /l solution.

Low hydrogen overvoltage electrode

An electrode is prepared by plating on an electrode substrate in a dispersion coating method to form a metal layer partially exposed porous particles of Ag on the electrode substrate, and, if desired, a middle layer is formed between the electrode substrate and the metal layer. The porous particles can be formed by etching an alloy of the particles.

Process for preparing electrode

An electrode is prepared by etching an alloy substrate comprising a first metallic component selected from the group consisting of chromium, manganese, tantalum, niobium, vanadium, titanium, silicon, zirconium, germanium, scandium, yttrium and lanthanum and a second metallic component selected from the group consisting of iron, nickel, tungsten, copper, silver, cobalt and molybdenum to remove at least part of the first metallic component.
