During oxidation of a lead electrode in a
H2SO4
solution at potentials between −200 and +900 mV (vs.
normalHg/Hg2SO4
electrode) an anodic layer containing
normaltet‐normalPbO
and
PbSO4
is formed. When oxidation is conducted in the dark,
normalPbO
does not display photoelectrochemical properties. In order to constitute a photoelectrochemical system the electrode has to be photoactivated by illumination with a given quantity of light at potentials more positive than 0 mV. In this case the
normalPbO
layer converts into a
PbOn
layer with

Die bei der anodischen Polarisation einer Pb‐Elektrode in lN H2SO4 nach der Bedeckung der Elektrode mit einer PbSO4‐Schicht zwischen Pb und PbSO4 entstehende, zunächst photo‐inaktive Schicht von tetragonalem PbO wird durch begrenzte Bestrahlung in eine photo‐aktive Schicht umgewandelt, wobei das PbO z.T. in PbOn (1 n 2) übergeht.
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.
