im trying to create a chlorate production cell -noting new in this
but the following thought hit me: would a graphite rod layered with ZnO2 do the job compareble to the lead dioxide? i have found no litterature on
this so what do you think?
also im having trouble with my "raw" welding rods. the graphite does not even have the time to erode before the metal-core of the rod break
where it touches the electrolyte-surface - is this common?
could it be helped?
this is my first port,.. hope noone flares up.
/regards

ZnO2 is zincperoxide IMHO. PbO2 is leaddioxide and is NOT a peroxide.
Most metalperoxides will hydrolyze to H2O2 on contact with water.
Also, does ZnO2 conduct electricity?

yes ofcourse it is.. wasent thinking.
its just im kind of desperate.
the lead nitrate(for GSLD) is hard to obtain for me, so i thought that there might be an alternative.
comments on my graphite-rod-breaking problem?
