In this study, home-made membrane electrode assemblies (MEA) with commercial PbO2 powder were used to investigate their capacity as anode in ozone generation via water electrolysis. We found that degrade phenomena happened for current interruption during operation period for both home-made and commercial MEA and the recovery goes gradually along with current input once more. To investigate this degradation and recovery phenomena roughly, several operation parameters were used accordingly, accompany with XRD, TGA and SEM analysis. Further, PbO2 powders were synthesized and their crystalline structures before and after current interruption were compared with those MEA made from commercial powders. According to XRD and TGA analysis, current interruption results in well-developed crystalline structure of PbO2, and this is harmful for electrochemical ozone generation. Also, we found that generation of OH radial during water electrolysis will attack membrane and catalyst and result in MEA permanent degradation.
