Abstract

Improved amorphous metal-based composite oxygen anodes comprise a substrate material, a first coating of an amorphous metal alloy applied thereto and a second coating of a mixed metal oxide applied to the first coating and fused therewith. A method for the fabrication of such anodes comprises the step of applying a first coating of an amorphous metal alloy to a substrate material, applying a second coating of a mixed metal oxide to the first coating and fusing the two layers together without crystallinity of the amorphous metal alloy. An electrolytic process employing such anodes is also provided.
