MUMBAI, India, June 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517049802 A) filed by Tosoh Corporation, Yamaguchi, Japan, on May 23, for 'oxygen-reducing electrode for brine electrolysis and method for producing same.'
Inventor(s) include Fujimoto Kotaro; and Sakamoto Kenji.
The application for the patent was published on June 13, under issue no. 24/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This oxygen-reducing electrode for brine electrolysis demonstrates low overpotential compared to a known conventional oxygen-reducing electrode for brine electrolysis, thus exhibiting the effect of contributing to energy conservation in brine electrolysis processes. Provided is an oxygen-reducing electrode for brine electrolysis. This electrode has a porous electroconductive substrate and, disposed on top of this porous electroconductive substrate, a catalyst layer containing platinum and electroconductive carbon. The platinum weight is 21 wt% or greater when the total weight of the platinum plus the electroconductive carbon is 100 wt%. The weight ratio Pt/C of the platinum (Pt) and carbon (C) in the catalyst layer surface is 0.18 to 1.0. Also provided is a method for producing the electrode."
The patent application was internationally filed on Oct. 30, 2023, under International application No.PCT/JP2023/039065.
