Noble metal anode materials have excellent electrocatalytic performance. In order to improve their catalytic activity, save energy and reduce consumption, a lot of research has been done. Based on the analysis of more than 50 literatures in the last 10 years, this paper reviews the extensive application and research status of noble metal anode materials in basic chemical industry. The characteristics, development and application fields of different noble metal anodes are presented. The application progress of noble metal oxide anodes in water electrolysis, chlor-alkali industry, industrial catalysis and wastewater treatment is introduced. The relationship among the carrier, control shape, composition and physical and chemical characteristics of anode materials is discussed. The further development and rational design of noble metal anode materials are prospected. |
