Dissolution and precipitation reactions of lead sulfate in positive …
Reaction mechanism was investigated by using a rotating ring-disk electrode. Both the ring and the disk were made of Pb (purity:99.9%). The disk was oxidized anodically in 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 at 2 mA cm −2 for 2 h. The formation of β-PbO 2 on the Pb surface after such treatment was confirmed by X-ray analysis. Fig. 1 shows a cyclic …
