Titanium electrodes coated by transition metal oxides have shown a large number of applications, thus being the subject of constant research and improvement. One of the most important applications for this type of electrodes is the electro-generation of hydroxyl radicals (•OH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) via catalytic water oxidation to the electrochemical degradation of organic compounds, as phenol (Phen). Looking for improving the electrochemical performance of IrO2-Ta2O5|Ti and RuO2-Ta2O5|Ti electrodes and also provide a better understand about their electrochemical behavior at an interfacial approach, this investigation was focused to compare the electro catalytic removal efficiency of Phen using different Ir:Ta and Ru:Ta ratios at the coating (70:30 and 30:70) by the generation of •OH and H2O2 in acid conditions (H2SO4).
