What about Silver for using as anode for plating Lead Dioxide from Pb-Cu/Nitrate solution!??

Sure? I don't see why not, since it gets covered immediately.. after a moment your anode surface becomes PbO2 plating on PbO2... LOL
Actually using it is different matter, bad things probably happen... although in a chloride electrolyte, insoluble AgCl would form, no?

I perpared solution but it is no PbO2 on Silver anode!!? the solution became slightly colloidal with white color!!

Oxidizing PbO2
I'm thinking about Mn(III) and (IV) tonight. I wonder is there any reasonable way you could oxidize Pb(II) with them? Mn is a pretty strong oxidizer,
though I'll have to check since Pb(IV) is pretty strong itself.
How would the reaction proceed? Both make brown oxidized smudge. Mn(III) is sort of soluble in acid (very burgundy  ), but it seems to hydrolyze like nuts. Plus, it would take nitric to allow Pb(II)
ions in solution (unless PbSO4 ppt can be oxidized). Hydrochloric acid would be long ago oxidized by either product, so that's no good.

Can one reduce the sodium plumbate (produced by fusing NaOH with metallic Pb) to a lead-only salt (without sodium)?
Thanks

Er, wasn't it posted earlier that Pb basically doesn't respond to alkali?
Anyways, do you mean the acid ion (plumbic/plumbous) or anhydride (which would just be the oxide), or a lead salt of the lead anion (i.e., plumbous
(II) plumbate (IV), otherwise known as, get this, Pb3O4)?
I'm sure adding HNO3 to drop the pH will free plenty of the acid component, as with any insoluble acid compound (borate, etc.).

Seems to work well- I grabbed some crude PbCl2, neutralized what acid was left as well as the salt with some NaHCO3 (hmm, I'm out of it), added
Ca(OCl)2 flakeybits, hmm turning color good, yellow, drab ugly brown, eventually to a "vivid" brown. Oh noes, I smell chlorine.. better...um... I
know, limestone gravel!
And that's where I've left the experiment for the night. Tomorrow I'll see how the product looks and compare it to other PbO2 I've collected (mostly
electrolytically).
Edit: looks good. Got less than I expected, but reasonable I suppose. Solution was still acidic (*cough* chloriney) despite the gravel, oh well.
Color is comparable to my electrolytic PbO2, but cleaner.  A lot like clay,
but still filtered reasonably- a lot of fine particles still got through though.
/Edit
In other news, my PbO junk is ever so slowly dissolving in vinegar. It's weak ass, but cheap, 4% stuff. I dropped half a pound of PbO to a gallon of
the stuff (~4L), which should be about right. I also added what PbAc2 I made a long time ago, all contaminated with probably Fe. The vinegar
solution is now brown. :rolleyes: Question: what's the azeotrope for acetic acid, and is it affected by the salt present? ISTR it's something low in
acid (3%?), which is dangerously close to all my acid evaporating from solution. That doesn't make sense to me since GAA is hard to make.

My try with PbO2 electrode
Hi guys,
I tried making pure PbO2 electrode today.
I used 2 shits of Al 3 m"m thick and used electrolysis in PbNO3/CuNO3 solution.
The current was 1.05 A and the voltage about 2 V. I warmed the solution to 55 C.
After an hour I came to see if this worked and found that my anode has corroded a little and on my cathode I got very thick Cu coating.
the anode look a little gray but this isn't coating, I tried scraping the gray coat and it just don't scrap.
*The anode became less thick too.
is there any reason for not using Al electrodes in this experiment?

catohde:

Obviously, aluminum is NOT a suitable substrate. Seems obvious to me given its reactivity (especially with copper in solution, especially as the
anode).
