Iridium oxide has many potential uses. Iridium oxide can be used to prepare anode coating materials. The electrodes prepared by doping it have good electrocatalytic activity and electrolytic durability. When used in acidic electrolytic solutions, it has the advantages of good stability, large current and long working life. In addition, iridium oxide can be used to make catalysts for regenerative fuel cells and high-precision pH electrodes. Since the adsorption of oxygen by Ir is reversible and IrO₂ a peroxy structure, the catalytic activity of this crystal structure will not be destroyed by the infiltration of oxygen, which is why iridium oxide electrodes become long-lived oxygen evolution electrodes. And in the process of treating wastewater, iridium oxide electrodes are used to treat wastewater electrocatalytically, which greatly improves the biodegradability of wastewater and reduces the toxicity of wastewater.
