Abstract
We report on the preparation of lead oxides nanostructured thin films by anodic and cathodic electrochemical deposition. The films were prepared using an aqueous electrolyte composed of lead chloride and nitric acid, without any catalyst. A controlled potential was applied through the electrolyte to deposit the lead oxide on gold coated silicon and on titanium foil. The formation of lead oxide nanostructures was strongly influenced by the applied potential, deposition temperature and solution pH. The role of these parameters on the synthesis of nanostructured lead dioxide was studied in detail, and enabled the determination of the optimal conditions for the fabrication of nanostructured lead dioxide thin films suitable for wastewater treatment.
