摘要
Highly crystalline, nanostructured, three-dimensional beta-PbO2 coatings were successfully obtained by galvanostatic deposition from baths containing aqueous lead(II) and methanesulfonic acid (CH3SO3H). This constitutes a much more environmentally friendly methodology compared to plating of beta-PbO2 in HNO3. The deposits exhibited high quality and good adherence. The crystallite size was in the range 20-30 nm and AFM imaging revealed very uniform, rough deposits (i.e., 255-275 nm rms). The oxidative destruction of Methyl Orange azo dye was studied by electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs). An electro-Fenton process with a high surface area carbon-felt cathode performed better than the single anodic oxidation. Rapid and complete decolorisation was achieved following pseudo first-order kinetics. The stability of the beta-PbO2 electrodes during the electrolyses was also demonstrated. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.
