In this study, β-PbO 2 –Co 3 O 4 composite coatings were synthesized on a substrate using the electrodeposition method in an electrolyte containing Pb 2+ and Co 3 O 4 particles. The preparation process study shows that the β-PbO 2 bath containing Co 3 O 4 particles becomes more stable for an ultrasonic dispersion time within 30 min, with the stability beginning to decrease after the ultrasonic time exceeds 30 min. Co 3 O 4 particles in the β-PbO 2 bath are positively charged, with anions being adsorbed onto the particles. The nucleation behavior study shows that the electric field force plays a dominant role in the adsorption process for the Co 3 O 4 particles. The nucleation and growth of β-PbO 2 on the Co 3 O 4 particles started for the particles closer to the substrate. In addition, the thickness of the β-PbO 2 layer on the Co 3 O 4 particles was inversely proportional to the distance between the Co 3 O 4 particles and the substrate. Compared to the pure PbO 2 electrode, the oxygen evolution overpotentials for the β-PbO 2 –Co 3 O 4 electrode are decreased significantly, which demonstrates an energy-saving effect.

To improve the efficiency of electrochemical degradation of wastewater, lead dioxide was synthesized by a hydrothermal method with low cost, simple operation, and high conversion rate. β-PbO2/HNT composites were prepared by a hydrothermal method with Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) and β-PbO2. The PbO2/HNT/ITO electrode was prepared by modifying the β-PbO2/HNT composite on an indium tin oxide (ITO) conductive glass electrode. The morphology of the material was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The electrochemical performance of the electrode was measured by cyclic voltammetry, the galvanostatic charge–discharge method, and the AC impedance method. Electrolysis of typical dye wastewater by electrochemical oxidation was carried out. The effect of electrochemical degradation of wastewater with new electrodes was investigated and the degree of electrodes falling off was compared. The solubility of electrodes was investigated by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry lead element analysis of wastewater. The results showed that the β-PbO2/HNT electrodes were prepared successfully and had good charge–discharge performance and lifetime. The removal rate of electrolytic dye wastewater was 85.86%, and the degradation effect was better than that of pure PbO2 electrodes. In this work, a new type of β-PbO2/HNT/ITO electrode has been prepared, which improved the degradation efficiency of wastewater and opened up the prospect of HNT application.

In this study, a new anode based on Pb-0.3%Ag/α-PbO 2 /β-PbO 2 -Co 3 O 4 composite is proposed and its performance is compared with that of the traditional Pb-1wt%Ag anode during long-term zinc electrowinning . The electrocatalytic activity of the new anode for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) initially decreased and then gradually increased, which was attributed to the phase transition occurring at the surface of the anode, and its corrosion resistance was gradually improved with the progress of electrowinning. Further, the electrochemical characteristics, cell voltage , current efficiency , and energy consumption of the two anodes were evaluated after 16 days of electrowinning. The OER electrocatalytic activity and corrosion resistance of the new anode were observed to be higher than those of the traditional anode. In addition, the cell voltage and power consumption of the new anode were significantly lower than those of the traditional anode. Furthermore, compared to the traditional anode, the energy consumption for producing 1 t of zinc was reduced by 358.13 kWh based on the new anode.

β-PbO2 is an important high oxygen overpotential anode coating material. Further study on nanoscale β-PbO2 with higher performance and lower cost is a critical issue in order to develop the electrochemical ozone generator. Herein, an improved β-PbO2 nanoparticles synthesizing strategy based on the traditional Pb(OAc)4 hydrolysis method is proposed in this work, which is more scalable for industrial-scale production compared with existed nano β-PbO2 synthesizing methods. The possible mechanism of synthesizing β-PbO2 nanoparticles via Pb(OAc)4 hydrolysis was discussed for the first time. Based on the proposed mechanism, the size and morphology of the β-PbO2 nanoparticles were effectively controlled, and alternative raw material that can significantly reduce costs was developed. SEM, TEM, XRD, and XPS results indicate that pure phase β-PbO2 nanoparticles range from 10–30 nm were obtained. In addition, the use of alternative raw materials reduces the cost by 90%–95% compared to the traditional Pb(OAc)4 hydrolysis method. The β-PbO2 nanoparticles showed good ozone generation performances. The energy consumption per unit ozone of the β-PbO2 nanoparticles is reduced by 51.9% at the optimized operation condition than the reference PbO2 particles used for comparison.

Increased levels of octadecylamine (ODA) and 4-dodecylmorpholine (DMP) in the aqueous, primarily utilized as flotation agents in the worldwide production of potash fertilizer, imperil the stability of ecosystems and the downstream production of high-end chemicals. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of exhaustive studies pertaining to the elimination of ODA and DMP. Herein, the Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/β-PbO 2 anode was fabricated by a thermal decomposition-electrodeposition technique for the electrocatalytic degradation of ODA and DMP. The degradation efficiency of ODA and DMP can achieve complete degradation, reaching 100%, after treatment periods of 10 min and 120 min, respectively. Meanwhile, the TOC removal efficiency of ODA and DMP is up to 85% and 61% at 30 min and 120 min, respectively. In particular, sulphate exhibits inhibitory degradation activity of ODA and DMP in comparison to chloride salt. The recycling and accelerated lifetime tests indicate excellent stability and recyclability of the Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/β-PbO 2 electrode. The mechanism of electrocatalytic degradation involves indirect electrochemical oxidation mediated by free radicals. The primary reactive species responsible for the degradation of DMP and ODA, as determined through scavenger quenching experiments and ESR, are ·OH and Cl·. The degradation of the ODA and DMP commences with the elimination of N element, leading to the formation of the N O 3 - . The carbon chain subsequently undergoes the breakdown. The degradation pathways of ODA and DMP were also proposed based on the GC–MS and H-NMR analyses, respectively. Moreover, the Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/β-PbO 2 anode performed excellently in the removal of ODA and DMP in real samples, TOC removal from ODA and DMP in natural samples was 56% and 52%, respectively, within 180 min. This study provides the first exploration of electrocatalytic degradation mechanisms and pathways of ODA and DMP based on the Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/β-PbO 2 anode.

In this work, Ti/SnO 2 -Sb 2 O 4 -La/β-PbO 2 electrode was successfully prepared by electrodeposition method. The surface morphology, crystal structure, elemental states and electrochemical characteristics of the electrode were examined by SEM, XRD, XPS, CV, and LSV. The results demonstrated that the conductivity, specific surface area, electrochemical oxidation performance and stability of the β-PbO 2 coated electrode with SnO 2 -Sb 2 O 4 -La as the intermediate layer were greatly improved. Under the conditions of initial rhodamine B (RhB) concentration of 20 mg/L, initial pH of 3.0, electrolyte concentration of 0.1 M, and current density of 30 mA cm −2 , the removal rates of color and TOC reached 100 % and 83.64 % after 20 mins and 30 mins, respectively. The electrode can also completely degrade methylene blue and methyl orange wastewater after 30 mins under the same conditions. The accelerated lifetime of the electrode reached 175 mins (1000 mA cm −2 , 1 M H 2 SO 4 ), and the actual lifetime was up to 3208 hrs. Based on the results of free radical quenching experiment and GC–MS detection, RhB degradation pathway was proposed: the aniline-based conjugated system of RhB molecule was attacked by the combined action of free radicals (indirect oxidation) and electrocatalysis (direct oxidation), which decomposed macromolecules into small molecules and ultimately mineralized them into CO 2 and H 2 O. This work is expected to provide a fresh research concept for preparing DSA electrodes with excellent catalytic performance and high stability.

The present study focused on the preparation, characterization, and application of cerium (Ce) and neodymium (Nd) co-doped lead (PbO 2 ) electrode, i.e., Ti/SnO 2 -Sb 2 O 3 /α-PbO 2 /Ce-Nd-β-PbO 2 . The electrochemical activities of the modified electrode were investigated and compared with those of Ce-PbO 2 , Nd-PbO 2 , and pure PbO 2 electrodes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize the surface morphology, crystal structure, and elemental states of the modified electrode. The Ce and Nd co-doped PbO 2 electrode had smaller crystal particles, more compact structure, and higher activity of electrocatalysis compared with the single-doped and undoped PbO 2 electrodes. Linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were also utilized to study the electrochemical response of the modified electrodes. The results show that the prepared Ce-Nd-PbO 2 electrode has the highest O 2 evolution potential (OEP) and lowest charge transfer resistance, suggesting that it has the lower energy consumption than the other three kinds of electrodes. Electrochemical oxidation methyl orange (MO) as a model dye wastewater was studied to evaluate the potential applications of this modified electrode in environmental science. It was found that the Ce-Nd-PbO 2 electrode exhibited higher MO and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency than single-doped and pure PbO 2 electrodes.

In this paper, the electrocatalytic performance of Ti/β-PbO 2 anode was improved by doping Cs into SnO 2 intermediate layer (Ti/Cs-SnO 2 /β-PbO 2 ) for the efficient degradation of fluoroquinolone wastewater. Compared with the conventional Ti/Sb-SnO 2 /β-PbO 2 anode, Cs-SnO 2 with the rougher surface increased the deposition amount and the thickness of β-PbO 2 active layer, thus forming the denser PbO 2 coating with smaller particle size and exposing more active sites. The partial replacement of Sn by Cs with the smaller ion radius induced the deformation of crystal lattice of SnO 2 , which further led the outer β-PbO 2 active layer grew along the advantageous (200) crystal plane and formed more point defects in the crystal lattice of β-PbO 2 . Thereby, the electron transfer rate at the anode interface was accelerated and the electrocatalytic performance of Ti/β-PbO 2 was significantly improved. To verify the practical application of the improved Ti/Cs-SnO 2 /β-PbO 2 electrode, levofloxacin (LFX) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) were selected as the typical target fluoroquinolones to evaluate the degradation efficiency of Ti/Cs-SnO 2 /β-PbO 2 anode. The removal rate exceeded more than 90% for the single and mixed fluoroquinolones wastewater. Moreover, after 5 times’ recycle, the degradation efficiency of LFX on Ti/Cs-SnO 2 /β-PbO 2 anode still remained over 90%. The potential mechanism of the enhanced electrocatalytic performance of Ti/Cs-SnO 2 /β-PbO 2 and the degradation pathways of fluoroquinolones were also inferred. It’s the first time to enhance the electrocatalytic performance of the Ti/β-PbO 2 anode by introducing monovalent alkali metal (C S ) into the SnO 2 intermediate layer and the proposed Ti/Cs-SnO 2 /β-PbO 2 anode would be a promising candidate to realize the efficient removal of the practical fluoroquinolones antibiotic wastewater.

The extensive evaporation-induced aggregation of scale inhibitors in the wastewater of recirculating cooling systems causes severe environmental pollution . In this study, Amino Trimethylene Phosphonic Acid (ATMP), an ordinary scale inhibitor, was degraded via electrochemical oxidation using a multi-layered Ti/IrO 2 -RhO x -TiO 2 /α-PbO 2 /β-PbO 2 electrode. The electrochemical oxidation experimental results verified the superior electro-catalytic properties of the β-PbO 2 electrode. Accelerated lifetime tests suggested that Ti/IrO 2 -RhO x -TiO 2 /α-PbO 2 /β-PbO 2 possesses a service lifetime of 201 h under a current density of 40000 A/m 2 , which is 3.4–100.5 times as long as other β-PbO 2 electrodes reported by other researchers. Four major operational parameters, namely electrolyte, current density, initial ATMP concentration, and pH, were discovered to significantly affect the ATMP degradation rate and electrical efficiency. The direct oxidation mechanism predominated in the degradation process of ATMP, achieving a 55.11% and 38.82% removal efficiency in Na 2 SO 4 and NaCl solutions, respectively. In addition, two possible degradation pathways of ATMP were proposed: induced by the breaking of either C-P or C-N bonds.

To strengthen the utilization of free radicals and effectively enhance electrocatalytic performance and service lifetime of the β -PbO 2 electrode, herein, a novel hydrophobic TNAs/SnO 2 /PPy/ β -PbO 2 -Ce-SDS (abbreviated as β -PbO 2 -Ce-SDS) anode was synthesized by doping Ce 3+ and anionic surfactant (SDS) to TNAs/SnO 2 /PPy/ β -PbO 2 (abbreviated as β -PbO 2 ), which was constructed by growing SnO 2 /PPy/ β -PbO 2 multilayers on TiO 2 nanotube arrays (TNAs) via combination of electrodeposition and electro-polymerization processes. Notably, co-modification with Ce 3+ and SDS remarkably enhanced the surface hydrophobicity, electrochemical performance and catalytic ability of β -PbO 2 anode. Such β -PbO 2 -Ce-SDS anode not only substantially enhanced the As(III) conversion (96.96%) in the electrocatalytic oxidation process, but also prominently strengthened its service lifetime. Furthermore, the as-prepared β -PbO 2 -Ce-SDS anode possessed an excellent stability as its kinetic constant was only reduced from 0.18 to 0.14 min −1 even underwent 10 cycles of the electrocatalytic process, while that of the unmodified β -PbO 2 electrode decreased markedly by about 49%, owing to its appropriate surface hydrophobicity, smaller grains and denser β -PbO 2 layer. The reaction mechanism of electrocatalytic oxidation was associated with synergistic effects of hydroxyl radical ( OH), superoxide radicals ( O 2 − ), and sulfuric acid root radicals ( SO 4 − ). The β -PbO 2 -Ce-SDS anode provides a novel and feasible approach to development of various electrodes by doping metal ions and/or regulating with surfactants.

Electrocatalytic ozone production (EOP) provides a sustainable route for advanced oxidation processes. Among various candidates, β-PbO 2 stands out as a proven ozone catalyst; however, its widespread implementation is severely hindered by sluggish kinetics and poor selectivity. Herein, we report a Ni-mediated electrocrystallization strategy that perturbs the local Pb–O environment within the β-PbO 2 framework without appreciable Ni incorporation into the final catalyst. Synchrotron x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), combined with x-ray diffraction (XRD) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), suggests the presence of lattice strain, electronic-state redistribution, and enhanced local structural disorder. These coupled geometric and electronic changes are consistent with enhanced lattice-oxygen participation during EOP. Consequently, the lattice oxygen-activated PbO 2 (O act -PbO 2 ) exhibits an O 3 yield of 425.6 mg h −1 g cat −1 (a 4.21-fold enhancement over pristine PbO 2 ) and a Faradaic efficiency of 14.73% at 2.5 V versus Ag/AgCl. Notably, an O 3 concentration of 12.30 mg L −1 is achieved within 5 min, and the electrode maintains stable operation for 300 h at 100 mA cm −2 . Furthermore, we establish a rapid and reliable analytical protocol for the quantification of electrogenerated O 3 . This work provides atomic-level insights into lattice oxygen activation and offers an effective strategy for the design of high-efficiency ozone electrosynthesis catalysts. Graphical A Ni-mediated electrocrystallization strategy is employed to regulate the local Pb–O framework without appreciable Ni incorporation. The resulting geometric and electronic modulations favor lattice-oxygen participation during ozone electrosynthesis, enabling an O 3 concentration of 12.30 mg L −1 and stable operation for 300 h.

The global detection and potential harm of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) call for the effective decomposition technology. In this study, the modified β-PbO 2 anodes with different hydrophobicity (Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/La-PbO 2 , Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/La-PbO 2 -PTFE and Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/La-PbO 2 -PVDF) were prepared to decompose aqueous PPCPs, i.e. isoniazid, methotrexate, carbamazepine, sulfamethoxazole and ibuprofen. PTFE and PVDF modification improved the physical property, electrochemical property, stability and safety of β-PbO 2 electrode. Moreover, Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/La-PbO 2 -PVDF had the highest oxygen evolution potential (1.95 V vs. SCE), the largest electroactive area (88.85 cm 2 ), the highest HO • production rate (10.44 mM min −1 m −2 ) and the best degradation performance for all the five PPCPs. The hydrophobic surface increased the proportion of free HO • , resulting in higher radical utilization rate and better degradation performance. The excessive hydrophobicity could decrease the degradation performance of PPCPs with high log K ow due to the relatively large hydrophobic force zone. Furthermore, the hydrophobicity enhanced the mineralization (current) efficiency of isoniazid, and its electrochemical degradation mechanism on Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/La-PbO 2 -PVDF was thoroughly proposed. These results demonstrated that Ti/SnO 2 -Sb/La-PbO 2 -PVDF anode exhibited a good application prospect in treating wastewater containing PPCPs.
