The PbO2 is more brittle than Pb and easy to break |
![]() |
The mechanism of formation of PbO2 is complicated and additions of others additives makes everything more complicated |
![]() |
During the polarization the thickness of lead dioxide layer
is not constant =>AFM observations are affected
|
![]() |
Discontinuities in PbO2 layer generates reactions between Pb (substrate) and PbO2 which affect the AFM observations |
![]() |
Controlling simultaneously CV (Cyclic Voltametry) and AFM observations is difficult due to the complex phenomena which occur |
Because of these difficulties we decide to focus our future investigations on the negative elecrode.
