Composite materials based on PbO2 containing TiO2 or ZrO2 were prepared from electrolytes containing a suspension of TiO2 or ZrO2. The contents of foreign oxides in the composite depend on the electrolyte composition and conditions of deposition. When a dispersed phase is incorporated into the composite coating, the dimensions of lead dioxide crystals decrease to submicro- and nano-size. Physico-chemical properties and electrocatalytic activity of composite materials are mainly determined by their chemical composition. The electrocatalytic properties of a composite PbO2-TiO2 anode vs the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the electrochemical degradation of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) were investigated.
