Abstract

An anode for electrolytic synthesis ( 3 ) for electrolytically synthesizing fluorine gas. The anode includes an anode substrate ( 31 ) formed of a metallic material and a carbonaceous layer ( 33 ) formed of a carbonaceous material and arranged on the surface of the anode substrate ( 31 ). The metallic material is an iron-based alloy containing iron and nickel. Also disclosed is a method for producing fluorine gas using the anode for electrolytic synthesis.
