The object of the invention is the perfection of graphite-based electrodes for increasing the service life at the current densities used in industry. The electrode has a base of graphite in the pores of which metals or metal compounds which have electrocatalytic properties and are in electrical contact with graphite and an electrochemically inert organic substance which is insoluble in the electrolyte and which has a melting point and / or a temperature of transition into the electrolyte gaseous state, which is or are higher than the temperature of the electrode in the electrolysis. The method of making an electrode is to introduce into the pores of the graphite base first metals or metal compounds having electrocatalytic properties, and then an electrochemically inert organic substance insoluble in the electrolyte, which has a melting point and / or a transition temperature has the gaseous state, which is or are higher than the temperature of the electrode in the electrolysis. |
