Abstract

The crystallographic nature of PbO2 films was changed by optimizing the electrolysis conditions in an electrodeposition solution of PbO2. These PbO2 films were then used to prepare PPO films. It was determined that alpha and beta modifications, and relative degrees of crystallinity had profound effects on the electrocatalytic performance of PbO2 films in the production PPO films.
