What is Titanium Anodes?
From:SG Trading Asia Co., Limited October 19, 2025

   A titanium anode is an electrode material with a titanium substrate, coated with an active catalytic layer (usually noble metal oxides, such as ruthenium, iridium, platinum, etc.). It is used as an anode in electrochemical reactions and possesses excellent corrosion resistance, high electrocatalytic activity, long lifespan, and good electrical conductivity. Its main characteristics include:
  Strong corrosion resistance: The titanium substrate itself has excellent corrosion resistance, especially in acidic, alkaline, and saline media [1].
  High electrocatalytic activity: The surface coating effectively reduces the overpotential of electrochemical reactions and improves current efficiency [2].
  High mechanical strength: Titanium metal has high strength and toughness, is not easily deformed or damaged.
  Good dimensional stability: During electrochemical processes, the size and shape of titanium anodes remain stable, unlike traditional graphite anodes which may dissolve or deform.

Data Support:

Titanium anodes, due to their excellent corrosion resistance and electrocatalytic properties, perform outstandingly in various industrial electrochemical applications, significantly improving production efficiency and reducing pollution.
