During the electrodeposition of lead(IV) oxide the simultaneous formation of two phases (αand β-phase) may occur. Film electrodeposition begins with the formation of α-phase, and then the formation of β-phase or simultaneous two-phase deposition takes place. The nucleation of PbO2 occurs through a progressive mechanism both in methanesulfonate and nitrate electrolytes. However, the preferred form of crystals in the case of methanesulfonate electrolyte is the cylinder, and in the nitrate electrolyte the crystal formation occurs in the form of cones. The character and kinetic parameters of 2D nucleation of lead(IV) oxide crystals allow predicting the phase composition of the coatings.
