The effect of electrocatalytic activitiy and crystal structure of $PbO_2$ surfaces on polyphenylene oxide (PPO) production in acetonitrile

The crystallographic nature of $PbO_2$ films was changed by optimizing the electrolysis conditions in an electrodeposition solution of $PbO_2$. These $PbO_2$ films were then used to prepare PPO films. It was determined that α and β modifications, and relative degrees of crystallinity had profound effects on the electrocatalytic performance of $PbO_2$ films in the production PPO films.
