Review on Structural Adjustment Strategies of Titanium‐Based Metal Oxide Dimensionally Stable Anodes in Electrochemical Advanced Oxidation Technology

Emerging organic pollutants and refractory pollutants in water bodies have caused severe harm to the ecological environment and human health. Electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) are currently one of the most effective oxidation methods to deal with refractory organic pollutants. Electrode materials serve as the most critical component in influencing the EAOP performance. Dimensionally stable anodes (DSAs) have the advantages of dimensional stability, structural diversity, chemical stability, low oxygen evolution potential and long service life, etc. Herein, several types of Ti‐based metal oxide DSAs (Ti/MO x DSAs) commonly used in EAOPs in the past 5 years, including Ti/IrO 2 , Ti/RuO 2 , Ti/PbO 2 , Ti/Sb–SnO 2 , and Ti/TiO 2 , are introduced. The modification methods including metal doping, composition adjustment, nanostructure construction, introduction of intermediate layers, compositing with carbon materials, and formation of 3D structures as well as the applications of these modified Ti‐based DSAs in EAOP for the rapid degradation of various organic pollutants are summarized and their advantages and current shortcomings of electrodes are pointed out. Finally, the Ti‐based DSA's current limitations and future development prospects are concluded.
