Abstract:

In this paper, the oxygen evolution potential and kinetics of Pb–0.3%Ag-0.06%Ca rolled alloy anode during the 15 days electrolysis in acid zinc sulphate electrolyte solution were investigated with galvanostatic polarization curve and Quasi-stationary polarization (Tafel) techniques. The results revealed that the anodic oxygen evolution potential and reaction kinetics varied a lot during the electrolysis for it is a process indicating the formation and stabilization of anodic oxide layer. With the increasing electrolysis time, the potentials (MSE) and overpotentials of oxygen evolution mainly present a declining trend while the electrode surface exchange current density a rising trend.
