Electroactivated cathode materials
First Claim
1. An electroactivated shaped article, which comprises a mass of fibrous material consolidated in a matrix of fluoropolymer binder, at least a portion of the fibers comprising said fibrous material being electrically conductive, said shaped article having a resistivity of less than 0.4 ohm cm and having at least one electrocatalytically active agent uniformly distributed therethrough, and said electrocatalytically active agent comprising at least one Raney metal, or Raney alloy depleted in fugitive metal values.

Abstract
Disclosed are electroactivated shaped articles, well adapted as cathode elements and composites, especially for electrolytic cells for the electrolysis of sodium chloride. The articles include a mass of fibrous material consolidated in a matrix of fluoropolymer binder wherein at least a portion of the fibers are electrically conductive. The shaped articles have a resistivity of less than 0.4 ohm cm, and have at least one electrocatalytically active agent uniformly dispersed therethrough. The electrocatalytically active agent(s) is (are) selected from Raney metals or Raney alloys depleted in fugitive metal values.
