Abstract

The present invention provides an electrolytic anode for use in electrolytically synthesizing a fluorine-containing substance by using an electrolytic bath containing a fluoride ion including: an electroconductive substrate having a sure including an electroconductive carbonaceous material; and an electroconductive carbonaceous film having a diamond structure, the electroconductive carbonaceous film coating a part of the electroconductive carbonaceous substrate, and a method for electrolytically synthesizing a fluorine-containing substance using the electrolytic anode.

Claims (14)

1. An electrolytic anode for use in electrolytically synthesizing a fluorine-containing substance by using an electrolytic bath containing a fluoride ion comprising:

an electroconductive substrate having a surface including an electroconductive carbonaceous material; and

an electroconductive carbonaceous film having a diamond structure, the electroconductive carbonaceous film coating a part of the electroconductive carbonaceous substrate,

wherein the electroconductive carbonaceous film has a ratio I(D)/I(G) of 1 or more, wherein I(D) represents a peak intensity existing in the range of 1312 to 1352 cm −1 belonging to diamond and I(G) represents a peak intensity existing in the range of 1560 to 1600 cm −1 belonging to G band of graphite, in a Raman spectroscopic analysis.

2. The electrolytic anode according to claim 1 ,

wherein the electroconductive carbonaceous material is at least one material selected from the group consisting of a graphite, an amorphous carbon, a diamond-like carbon, and an electroconductive diamond.

3. The electrolytic anode according to claim 1 ,

wherein a coating ratio of the electroconductive carbonaceous film to the electroconductive substrate is 10% or more.

4. The electrolytic anode as in any of claims 1 , 2 or 3 ,

wherein the fluorine-containing substance is one of a fluorine gas or a nitrogen trifluoride.

5. A method for electrolytically synthesizing a fluorine-containing substance, comprising:

preparing an electrolytic anode comprising: an electroconductive substrate having a surface including an electroconductive carbonaceous material; and an electroconductive carbonaceous film having a diamond structure, the electroconductive carbonaceous film coating a part of the electroconductive carbonaceous substrate; and

performing electrolysis by using the electrolytic anode in an electrolytic bath containing a fluoride ion to obtain a fluorine-containing substance.

6. The method for electrolytically synthesizing a fluorine-containing substance according to claim 5 , wherein the fluorine-containing substance is one of a fluorine gas or a nitrogen trifluoride.
