Electrochemical behavior of lead dioxide deposited on reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC)

The electrochemical performance of lead dioxide deposited on reticulated vitreous carbon (RVC) has been investigated in basic and acidic solutions (0.1 M NaOH, 0.1 M Na2BB4OO7 and 0.5 M H2SSO4)). For comparison, pure lead and lead dioxide deposited on platinized RVC (Pt/ RVC) were also included in the study. Our results indicate that the behavior of RVC covered with lead dioxide (without platinum) resembles that of lead dioxide generated electrochemically on metallic lead.
