The results of a potentiostatic study of a porous lead dioxide electrode indicate that the degree of oxidation of the lead dioxide increases with an increase in the anodic potential, approaching some limit value. A decrease in the anodic potential results in cathodic reduction of some of the oxygen from the crystal lattice of the oxide. Use of the data from the electrostatic and potentiostatic study of the electrode permits calculating the dependence of the oxygen activity in the lead dioxide phase on the anodic potential and degree of oxidation of the oxide.
