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 alpha-PbO2 unit cells, improving the specific surface areas
of coating surface. Under all condition, the matrix was highly oriented alpha-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 Al/conductive coating/alpha-
PbO2-3.71 wt.% TiO2-2.12 wt.% CeO2 anode is the best.
