Titanium Anodes & Functional Electrodes

Main product types

Engineered from the electrolyte outward

For technical review, please provide the process, electrolyte or water chemistry, current density, temperature, dimensions, quantity and installation method. TJNE will review coating system, substrate form and connection structure according to the actual operating environment.

MMO and DSA titanium anodes
01

MMO / DSA Titanium Anodes

Mixed metal oxide and DSA-type titanium anodes are selected for long-running electrochemical processes where catalytic activity, dimensional stability and corrosion resistance must be balanced.

  • Ru-Ir, Ir-Ta and application-specific coating systems
  • Plate, mesh, tubular, rod, ribbon, wire and customised forms
  • Used in water treatment, ICCP, electro-chlorination, hydrogen-related electrolysis and industrial electrolysis
PbO2 titanium anodes
02

PbO₂ Titanium Anodes

PbO₂ titanium anodes are selected for demanding oxidation and non-ferrous metal electrolysis duties where strong oxidation capability is needed. The final structure should be reviewed against electrolyte composition, current density and service-life expectations.

  • Suitable for selected copper, zinc and other non-ferrous electrolysis or oxidation scenarios
  • Titanium substrate with functional PbO₂ surface
  • Configured according to medium, duty cycle and installation conditions
Copper foil anode related assemblies
03

Copper Foil Anodes

Copper foil anodes mainly refer to Ru-Ir coated titanium anode plates and anti-oxidation anode plates installed in foil-machine anode cells for electrolytic copper foil production. They should be discussed together with anode-cell structure, current distribution, operating voltage and line stability.

  • Ru-Ir coated titanium anode plates for copper foil anode cells
  • Anti-oxidation anode plates and related anode-cell components
  • Matched with TJNE anode cells and copper foil equipment modules
PCB electroplating anodes
04

PCB Electroplating Anodes

PCB anodes are reviewed according to plating bath chemistry, current distribution, line interface and production requirements for electronics and surface-treatment processes.

  • Anodes for PCB, electronics plating, etching-solution and aluminum-foil formation applications
  • Configured according to bath chemistry, current density and installation interface
  • Can be discussed together with replacement, pilot or production-line requirements
Titanium electrode family and custom assemblies
05

Custom Functional Electrodes

Many industrial electrochemical projects require non-standard dimensions, connection methods or structural details. TJNE can support customised electrode assemblies when the application conditions and interface requirements are clearly defined.

  • Custom substrate forms and connection structures
  • Support for pilot tests, industrial trials and equipment-integration interfaces
  • Engineering review based on current density, electrolyte and equipment interface
