Lead dioxide-surfactant composites: an overview

The theory and practice of controlled electrochemical synthesis of lead dioxide-surfactant composite catalysts from nitrate bath have been investigated. The focus is on establishing the relationship between synthesis conditions, composition, properties and electrocatalytic activity. Obtained results concerning synthesis and physico-chemical properties can contribute substantially to a fundamental understanding of the relationship between the coating structure and catalytic activity, important to all fields of catalysis.
