Ea. Streltsov et al., UNDERPOTENTIAL DEPOSITION OF METALS DURIN G CATHODIC ELECTROCHEMICAL SYNTHESIS OF METAL SELENIDES, Doklady Akademii nauk BSSR, 41(1), 1997, pp. 69-73
The regularities of cathodic reduction of metal cations (Pb2+, Cd2+) o
n Se-electrodes in acidic water solutions are investigated. Underpoten
tial deposition of metal atoms on Se-surface is found. Cathodic reduct
ion of Se(IV) and metal cations at E > E(Me)n+/O-Me formation of appro
priate selenides. This formation is due to the interaction between sel
enium atoms, electrodeposited overpotential, and underpotential deposi
ted metal atoms.
