Abstract
Linear sweep voltammetric (LSV) and impedance studies of lead/antimony binary alloys (0–12% Sb) are described. The formation of a solid antimony-containing species in close contact with a passivating layer of lead sulphate at sufficiently positive potentials (before lead dioxide formation) is indicated. In the presence of antimony, changes in the characteristics of the passivating layer occur, in accordance with a reduction in thickness and an increase in porosity.
