Abstract: The anodic reaction of oxygen evolution on PbO2 electrode was studied by A. C. impedance measurement. The Faradaic. resistance Rt,double layer capacitance Cd adsorption resistance Ra and adsorption capacitance Ca were determined by analyzing the impedance spectra with microcomputer curve-fitting method. The rate-controlling step of the reaction was considered to be (OH)ad+H2O→(O)ad+H3O+e-. The relation between Cd, Ca.and OH-ion concentration was discussed in view of the adsorption effect.
