Ruthenium-Iridium Mesh Cylinder Anode for Hydrogen Production by Water Electrolysis at 12V
Product Spotlights
Welcome to Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory, a trusted manufacturer since 1998 with an annual export value of US$5 million to US$10 million. As a specialized supplier of wire mesh products, we proudly present our Ruthenium-Iridium Mesh Cylinder Anode, designed for efficient hydrogen production through water electrolysis at 12V. This anode combines advanced catalytic coating with robust mesh structure, delivering high electrochemical performance and long service life. Ideal for alkaline water electrolysis systems, it offers reliable operation and cost-effective hydrogen generation.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- High Catalytic Activity: The ruthenium-iridium mixed metal oxide coating provides excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics, reducing overpotential and improving energy efficiency.
- Corrosion Resistance: Titanium substrate with precious metal coating ensures superior durability in aggressive alkaline electrolytes.
- Uniform Current Distribution: Cylindrical mesh design enhances electrolyte flow and gas bubble release, minimizing voltage drop.
- Customizable Dimensions: Available in various diameters, lengths, and mesh openings to fit your electrolyzer cells.
- Low Maintenance: Robust structure resists deformation and coating peeling, reducing replacement frequency.

Advantages for Your Hydrogen Production
Our anode is engineered to deliver consistent performance in industrial water electrolysis. The cylindrical mesh geometry maximizes active surface area while maintaining structural integrity under high gas evolution. By reducing the cell voltage, it lowers energy consumption per kilogram of hydrogen produced. The precious metal coating ensures high catalytic stability, meaning fewer shutdowns for maintenance. Whether you are building a small-scale laboratory system or a large electrolyzer stack, this anode offers a reliable solution.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the expected lifespan of this anode?
A: Under normal operating conditions (e.g., 30% KOH, 60–80°C, current density 2000 A/m²), the anode typically lasts 2–5 years. Actual lifespan depends on electrolyte purity, temperature, and current density. We recommend periodic performance monitoring. -
Q: Can the anode be used at voltages higher than 12V?
A: While designed for 12V, it can handle slightly higher voltages (up to 14V) for short periods. For continuous operation, we advise staying within the rated voltage to avoid accelerated coating degradation. -
Q: Are custom sizes available?
A: Yes, we offer customization in diameter, length, and mesh opening. Please provide your requirements (e.g., cell dimensions, desired current) for a tailored solution. -
Q: How does the ruthenium-iridium coating compare to other coatings like platinum or nickel?
A: Ru-Ir coating offers an excellent balance of OER activity and cost. It is more active than nickel and more stable than pure ruthenium in alkaline environments. Platinum is more expensive and typically used for cathodes. -
Q: Is the anode suitable for PEM water electrolysis?
A: This anode is optimized for alkaline water electrolysis. For PEM (proton exchange membrane) systems, a different substrate and coating (e.g., iridium on titanium) would be required. Please consult our technical team. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for orders?
A: For standard sizes, lead time is 15–20 working days. Custom orders may require 25–30 working days depending on quantity and specifications. -
Q: Do you provide test reports or quality certificates?
A: Yes, we can supply material test reports, coating thickness data, and performance test results upon request. Our factory follows strict quality control procedures. -
Q: How should the anode be stored and handled?
A: Store in a dry, clean environment away from acids and strong oxidizers. Handle with clean gloves to avoid contaminating the coating. Avoid mechanical impacts that could damage the mesh.
