XPS and SIMS investigation is presented on doped PbO2 electrodeposited on T
i under conditions in which the beta form of the oxide largely prevails. Co
mplementary results obtained by XPS and SIMS analyses indicate that the dop
ing species markedly affect the oxygen species accumulation on the oxide su
rface. In particular, metal cations added to electrodeposition bath are fou
nd to influence the F- incorporation in the surface region of PbO2 even if
these foreign species are not detected in the coatings, (C) 1999 Published
