New Approaches to the Creation of Nanocomposite Anode Materials Based on PbO2: A Review

Abstract

An original approach to the creation of new nanocomposite anode materials based on PbO₂ and to the processes of composite formation due to the influence of selective adsorption of valve metal oxides and different types of surfactants on both electrochemical and colloid-chemical processes in the near-electrode zone is considered. It is shown that variation of deposition electrolyte composition, current density, and temperature allows one to change the content of additives in composites and to provide control of morphology, texture, phase composition, physicochemical properties, electrocatalytic activity, and selectivity of electrocatalysts based on PbO₂ in target processes.
