Cyclic voltammetry has been used to study the electrochemical redox behaviour of the Pb/PbO,&PbSO, system on the lead electrode in aqueous H,SO, solutions. The ancdic and the cathodic polarization behaviour has been investigated under the'various conditions by changing the potential region, sweeping

โฆ Synopsis
When a fully charged lead negative electrode stood for one month in 1.0 M H,SO, solution at a temperature of 298.15K, it was passivated through so-called "sulfation" as indicated by a decrease in the redox peak currents on cyclic voltammograms.
As a method of reactivating the passivated lead negative electrode, we proposed the electrochemical redox potentiodynamic method in the potential range from 0.6 V vs. she to the potential of oxygen evolution at a positive electrode. It is recognized that the activity of the passivated lead negative electrode recovered completely after several cycles of such electrochemical treatment.
