The characterisation of PbO2-coated electrodes prepared from aqueous methanesulfonic acid under controlled deposition conditions

This work defines the importance of process conditions for a controlled deposition of high quality lead dioxide electrodes using methanesulfonic acid. The acid has environmental compatibility for manufacturing, which compares favourably against dangerous nitric acid. The electrodes have the potential to guide industrial development of electrodes away from expensive, difficult-to-scale doped diamond materials, and has found use as materials for thin-film battery as an alternative to expensive nanostructured carbon materials. This work has led to an international research collaboration with University of Malaya (UM) which resulted in two joint publications in novel electrodes for bio-wastewater treatment.
