Several aspects of electrochemical ozone production (EOP) on β-PbO 2 were investigated. The morphology of the electrode material was determined in situ using extensive (total, external, and internal differential capacity) and intensive parameters (the morphology factor, ϕ) permitting comparison with results of other laboratories if appropriate electrode characterization parameters are available. The influence of the nature of the supporting electrolyte on the oxygen evolution reaction (OER)/EOP processes was investigated using polarization curves, recorded under quasi-stationary conditions, point-by-point polarization, and chronopotentiometry. The performance of the several β-PbO 2 /electrolyte system was evaluated using the apparent specific power criterion. A detailed mechanism for EOP is proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
