Lead oxide can act as an oxidizing agent because it contains lead in a higher oxidation state (+2 for PbO) compared to metallic lead (0 oxidation state). This means that lead oxide has a greater tendency to donate electrons and get reduced, thereby oxidizing other substances in a chemical reaction.
Lead oxide is composed of lead (Pb) and oxygen (O) atoms. Depending on the oxidation state of lead, lead oxide can exist in different forms such as lead(II) oxide (PbO) and lead(IV) oxide (PbO2). Lead(II) oxide is a yellow solid while lead(IV) oxide is a dark brown solid.
Lead (IV) ion
Lead RED (pigment used to produce a "RED" used in ancient JAPANESE gravures.)
Lead oxide is typically made by heating lead metal in the presence of oxygen. This causes a chemical reaction that results in the formation of lead oxide. Lead oxide can also be produced by dissolving lead metal in nitric acid and then drying the resulting solution.
Lead can be extracted from lead oxide through a reduction reaction. When lead oxide is heated in the presence of carbon (typically in the form of coke), carbon reduces the lead oxide to produce lead metal and carbon dioxide gas. This reaction allows the lead to be separated from the oxide compound.
Lead Monoxide
Aluminum is more easily oxidized than lead. Aluminum forms a protective oxide layer on its surface that prevents further oxidation, while lead does not readily form a stable oxide layer. Therefore, aluminum is more reactive with oxygen and other oxidizing agents compared to lead.
Lead and oxygen combine to form lead oxide (PbO).

When sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is added to lead(IV) oxide (PbO2), a redox reaction occurs. NaOCl acts as an oxidizing agent, and PbO2 can be reduced to lead(II) oxide (PbO) in this process. The overall reaction typically produces lead(II) oxide and sodium chloride (NaCl), along with the release of oxygen. The exact conditions and concentrations can influence the specific products formed.
Lead (IV) ion
Lead has Three type of oxides: Lead(II) Oxide = PbO (Generally referred) Lead(IV) Oxide = PbO2 Lead(II,IV) Oxide = Pb3O4
There must be a difference between the electrodes. If both are silver metal the voltage will be zero. I don't know if it works with silver like it does with lead, but oxidizing the metal of one electrode might make a workable battery (a silver/silver oxide battery like the lead/lead oxide of the lead acid battery).
