Lead dioxide is a strong oxidizer in sulfuric acid, consequently electrochemical oxidation of solution species at a lead dioxide anode may occur by a two-step, C-E process (chemical oxidation of solution species by PbO2 followed by electrochemical regeneration of the reduced lead dioxide surface). The maximum rate of each step has been determined in sulfuric acid for specified lead dioxide surfaces and compared with the rates observed for the electrochemical oxidation of cerium(III) and manganese(II) on the same electrode surfaces. While the rate of electrochemical oxidation of a partially reduced PbO2 surface may be sufficient to support the observed rates of CeIII and MnII oxidation at the lead dioxide anode, the rate of chemical reaction between PbO2 and the reducing species is not. Hence it is concluded that the lead dioxide electrode functions as a simple, 'inert' electron-transfer agent during the electrochemical oxidation of CellI and MnII in sulfuric acid. In general, it will most probably be the rate of the chemical step which determines the feasibility or otherwise of the C-E mechanism.

The first Cu32 cluster featuring a multi-cubane (Cu4O3X) structure exhibited excellent catalytic performance in the degradation of organic pollutant rhodamine B, good electrocatalytic activity for nitrite reduction, and strong antiferromagnetic interactions.

The electrolytic oxidation reactions of cerium(III) and manganeseII) in sulfuric acid have been used as probes to investigate the mechanism of the lead dioxide anode. The kinetics observed for such reactions at the lead dioxide surface provide no direct support for the proposal that the lead dioxide anode functions by a sequential 'two-step' mechanism (heterogeneous chemical oxidation of solution species followed by electrochemical oxidation of the reduced lead dioxide surface); rather the kinetics show characteristics similar to those observed previously for the oxidation of cerium(III) and manganese(II) at the platinum electrode, suggesting that the lead dioxide surface functions as a simple, 'inert' electron-transfer agent.

During electrodepositing pure lead dioxide, the electrocatalytic activity of PbO2 electrodes, as well as their stability, can often be considerably enhanced by the incorporation of some fine particles added to the electrodeposition. The morphology, crystal phase, surface composition, microstructure, of the electrode were characterized by means of SEM, XRD and EDS. SEM-EDS analysis showed the addition of solid particles could inhibit the growth of α-PbO2 unit cells, improving the specific surface areas of coating surface.Under all condition, the matrix was highly oriented α-PbO2. The electrocatalytic activity of the prepared materials has been tested in Zn2+ 50g L-1, H2SO4 150g L-1 solution. It showed that the electrocatalytic activity of the A1/conductive coating/α-PbO2-3.71 wt.% TiO2-2.12 wt.% CeO2 anode is the best.

The overpotential (n)-log current density (log i) curves for the evolution of oxygen at a lead dioxide anode in 2N H2SO4 both in the absence and presence of cobaltous sulphate in solution have been used to determine the electrode kinetic constants α ; i0 for a series of temperatures and also ΔH0*:. At 25 �C in the absence of cobalt α=O.59, i0= 10-11, and ΔH0*= 15 kcal mole-1 When 13 mg/l cobaltous sulphate is added α= 1.0, i0= 10-15, and ΔH0*:=29 kcal mole-1. Possible mechanisms for the reaction are discussed on the basis of these values and the rate determining steps suggested (where M represents the PbO2 surface) are M +H2O =MOH +H+ +e in the absence of cobalt and 2CoOH++ = 2Co++ +H2O + O in its presence.
