β¦ Synopsis
The kinetics of the formation process of PbOa on Pb-lwt.%Sb and Pb-7wt.%Sb electrodes, together with the influence of antimony on this process, are studied with potential-step and a.c. impedance methods. Relationships between the current density and time, and between the capacitance and time, are investigated. The oxidation current of the lead substrate is considered. Results show that the formation process of PbOz on lead-antimony electrodes follows a two-dimensional instantaneous nucleation/growth process. Antimony enhances the formation of Pb02 nuclei, but inhibits their growth.

## Potentiostatic polarization measurements of the growth of lead dioxide layers on lead electrodes in sulfuric acid solutions have been made. During an initial period a closed PbOz layer is formed anodically on the lead surface. Subsequent growth takes place according to a parabolic rate law with
When a Pb electrode immersed in HzS04 solution is polarized in the PbOz potential range the following electrode system is formed: Pb/PbOJ Hz0/02/H2S04. At the oxide/solution interface oxygen evolution takes place. The semiproducts of this reaction, 0 atoms and O-radicals, diffuse into the anodic la
