“…On the other hand, IrO 2 is more expensive than RuO 2 and its electrocatalytic activity is slightly lower (Chen et al, 2001). As anodes with a lead dioxide coating possess high electrical conductivity, good electrochemical and chemical stability against corrosion and are relatively inexpensive, researchers have long considered using lead dioxide as a surface layer on a Ti substrate, with the lead dioxide sometimes doped with other metal oxides such as ZrO 2 , TiO 2 , Ta 2 O 5 , CoO x , Co 3 O 4 , RuO 2 and others (Velichenko et al, 2009a(Velichenko et al, , 2009b(Velichenko et al, and 2009cYeo et al, 2010;Morimitsu et al, 2010;Cattarin et al, 2001;Musiani et al, 1997;Bertoncello et al, 2000).…”
