Abstract:The anti-passivation effect of metal oxide anode coating doped with rare earth element Eu was discussed. The morphology and the composition distribution of the metal oxide coating anode before and after electrolysis were studied by SEM and EDX analyses. The results show that the erosion of the electrolyte at the defects is the main cause for the failure of the coating. The erosion rate of the electrolyte is anisotropic. In area with high density of defects, the erosion rate is very fast and the failure of the coating is very quick. Moreover, the life-time of the coating is prolonged by the doping of Eu.
Key words: Eu doping; metal oxide anode coating; anti-passivation
