CATALYST FOR OXYGEN REDUCTION

Application 2306/KOLNP/2005 published 2006-10-13, filed 2005-11-18
The invention relates to a novel ruthenium sulphide catalyst and to gas diffusion electrodes incorporating the same for reduction of oxygen in industrial electrolysers. The catalyst is highly resistant towards corrosion, thus resulting particularly suitable for use in oxygen-depolarised aqueous hydrochloric acid electrolysis. (FIG.nil)
