for surfactants literally u can use acetone or erithritol mixed with palmolive shampoo and it will work which is what I used. and for beta plating bath I rather use lead perchlorate as its capable of plating pure beta PbO2 without 2% alpha contamination at room temperature. but alpha PbO2 is needed but not as a co deposit rather as a layered composite and to accomplish that you need a 2nd plating bath with a very different composition.
you cant just plate beta PbO2 directly on graphite it wont make a practical anode you need a hard dense alpha PbO2 precoat and interlayers to improve strength and operating current density.
PbO2 anodes are mostly used for industry for the purpose of organic waste destruction via oxidation. They are also used for: Making sulfuric acid from CaSO4 with membrane cell Making nitric acid from NH3 solution with membrane cell Making perchlorates Making ozone Making chlorates oxidation of styrene and toluene into benzaldehyde and benzoic acid.

Can't understand your S'African accent. What type of water are you using it sounds like "milky" water but that makes no sense.
Its mili-Q water.
Had to look that one up. We didn't have ultra pure tap water, and certainly no filter system to make it! Thanks for clarifying that for me.
@@DRTDC90 hello, can contact us by email if you have been able to record other videos of this channel thank you
so you returned as a sussy chemist.. welp we all gotta get our ADHD meds somehow.
