"Research Progress on the Electrocatalytic Degradation of Organic Pollutants by PbO2-Based Electrode"

As an inactive electrode, PbO2-based electrode can produce abundant hydroxyl radicals which are beneficial to the degradation of organic pollutants. In recent years, as a widely used material in electrochemical oxidation technology, more and more PbO2-based electrodes have attracted much attention due to their high oxygen evolution potential, high catalytic activity and good stability. Presently, most of the articles are devoted to the modification of the electrode. To better understand electrochemical degradation of pollutants from waste water, this review summarizes the research progress of wastewater treatment in recent years.
