In an electrolysis cell with anodes and cathodes which are provided with openings, the cathode chamber is separated from the anode chamber by a diaphragm. The latter consists of a porous layer of oxides or oxidic compounds of the elements of sub-group 4B of the periodic table, of aluminum, of the rare earths or of chromium. The diaphragm is applied to that side of one of the electrodes which faces the counter-electrode.

Electrolysis cell

Manufacture of electrodes consisting of bases of valve metals with electrochemically active coatings applied thereto. The electrodes are pre-treated before the said coatings are applied, the pre-treatment comprising treating the base with hydrogen.

Manufacture of electrodes

An accumulator having an acid electrolyte and possessing two electrodes of the first kind mounted on base electrodes. The active material on the positive side contains manganese dioxide. The base electrode on the negative side consists of powdered graphite embedded in a binder which is resistant to the electrolyte. The base electrode on the positive side has a coarse porous structure and consists of graphite or titanium coated with titanium nitride or titanium carbide. The average pore diameters are from 0.1 to 2 mm and the pore volume is from 20 to 70%.

Rechargeable accumulator having a manganese dioxide electrode and an

Accumulators having solution electrodes containing manganese dioxide and lead dioxide as active material on the cathode side and containing acid electrolytes. The electrolyte has a content of onium salts soluble in aqueous medium.

Accumulator equipped with cathodes of manganese dioxide or lead dioxide

An anode for electrochemical processes consists of an electrode base plate of a metal which can be passivated electrochemically, a protective layer deposited thereon, and a further layer, consisting of manganese dioxide. The protective layer consists of the nitride of the metal of the electrode base plate.
