Microwave activation of electrochemical processes: enhanced PbO2 electrodeposition, stripping and electrocatalysis

Journal article

Microwave activation of electrochemical processes has recently been introduced as a new technique for the enhancement and control of processes at electrode|solution (electrolyte) interfaces. This methodology is extended to processes at glassy carbon and boron-doped diamond electrodes. Deposition of both Pb metal and PbO2 from an aqueous solution of Pb2+ (0.1 M HNO3) are affected by microwave radiation. The formation of PbO2 on anodically pre-treated boron-doped diamond is demonstrated to chan...
