POSITIVE ELECTRODE FOR ELECTROLYSIS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME

An anode for electrolysis in which electrolysis performance is less likely to deteriorate even when electric power having a large output fluctuation, such as renewable energy, is used as a power source and in which excellent catalytic activity is stably maintained for a long period of time is provided. The anode for electrolysis includes a conductive substrate in which at least a surface of the conductive substrate is formed of nickel or a nickel-based alloy; and a first layer formed on the surface of the conductive substrate , the first layer being capable of functioning as a catalyst layer containing a lithium-containing nickel cobalt oxide represented by a composition formula LiNiCoO(0.05≤x≤1.0, 1.0≤y≤2.0, 1.0≤z≤2.0, and x+y+z=2 to 3).
