    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods of making electrodes for use in electrolysis cells. The method may include forming a TiB2 feedstock into a predetermined shaped product to realize an appropriate density. The method may also include producing a final shaped product from the predetermined shaped product by exposing the predetermined shaped product to elevated temperature. Due to the exposing step, the final shaped product may have a plurality of pores and may realize one or more properties and/or characteristics.

    Abstract: New copper-coated titanium diboride electrodes are disclosed. The copper-coated titanium diboride electrodes may be used in an aluminum electrolysis cell. In one embodiment, a method includes installing the copper-coated titanium diboride electrode in the aluminum electrolysis cell and operating the aluminum electrolysis cell. During start-up, the aluminum electrolysis cell may be preheated and a bath may be formed from a molten electrolyte. Alumina (Al2O3) may in the added to the bath and reduced to aluminum metal. At least some of the copper film of the copper-coated titanium diboride electrode may be replaced by an aluminum film, thereby forming an aluminum-wetted titanium diboride electrode.
