Lead Dioxide Extra Pure is a dark brown or black crystalline powder with the chemical formula PbO₂, recognized for its strong oxidizing properties and high purity suitable for laboratory-grade applications. This compound is primarily used in electrochemical experiments, oxidation reactions, and battery research, especially in the development and maintenance of lead-acid batteries where it functions as the active material on the positive plate. In analytical chemistry, it is employed as an oxidizing agent and for synthesizing other lead compounds. Its stability and performance under controlled conditions make it valuable for advanced scientific research and industrial formulation trials. Due to its toxic and environmentally hazardous nature, strict safety protocols are necessary during handling and disposal.
