For example, in the electrode for sterilizing water according to the present invention, iridium oxide (IrO ₂ ) and tantalum oxide (Ta ₂ O ₅ ), which are noble metal oxides, are coated on the electrode substrate at an optimum ratio obtained through a number of experiments, Or a catalyst layer is formed to form an electrode, the efficiency of ion generation having a sterilizing power is maximized, and the adhesion of the protective layer and / or the catalyst layer of the electrode is excellent, and the oxidation resistance and durability of the electrode are excellent.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to preferred embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but, on the contrary, It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that changes may be made.
