Hello RustyShackleford or any one else who can help me,

Please take a look at the attached image. It shows a titanium plate, which I believe to be nearly pure titanium rather than a titanium alloy, with dimensions of 358 mm by 245 mm. I am seeking guidance on setting up a chlorate cell. I have a long cylindrical vessel and a magnetic stirrer, allowing for electrolyte agitation if necessary. However, I am encountering challenges in determining the appropriate current to pass through the electrodes and in selecting a suitable power supply.

Could you assist me with the calculations for the required current and provide recommendations on the power supply for this setup?

Thank you very much for your help.

and the thickness of the plate is: 2mm

Hello folks,

I think we can buy Titanium Anodes with a Mixed Coating of Ruthenium Oxide and Iridium Oxide from China, Would it be a better way? Or can I use my Titanium plate?

And Shall I use Stainless steel for Cathodes?

@sarinox

You should ideally use titanium for the cathode, but since the cathode is subjected to a much lower degree of oxidative stress, stainless steel also works.

MMO anodes are indeed your best option at a reasonable price point.

Hi, and thank you for your reply, and what about power supply?

How many Amps should I pass through the electrolyte? and I know they calculate Amp/surface but that is kind of confusing for me! for example the MMO anodes look like a mesh and I think measuring their surface area would be difficult, no?

Also, there are more questions for example should I keep the Amperage constant? How is it done? the power supply will do it automatically? (please note I did not have a laboratory power supply until now)

I just know from simple physics that V = R.I which means if we give a higher voltage to a system then higher current will pass through it, right? (assuming that R would remain constant)

so, if the electrolyte will have a constant electric resistance (which I think is not true! but let's imagine that.) then I cannot pass higher amperages through it without increasing voltage! Can u explain this issue for me?
