Abstract
Abstract The electrochemical and chemical reduction of α-and β-lead dioxide synthesis anodes in sulfuric or nitric acid, resp., are investigated. The processes are elucidated by scanning electron microscope pictures. For the reduction of lead dioxide to lead sulfate a solution-precipitation mechanism is confirmed. This result fits very well with present day battery research. Reduction as well as re-oxidation result in an enlargement of active surface. Therefore temporary reduction has a decisive influence on the potential characteristics of lead dioxide anodes. Conclusions are given for their application in electrochemical syntheses.
