Abstract: It is found by experiment that Na2SeO3 can improve the current efficiency remarkably. The reaction mechanism of the promotion of the current efficiency of electro-deposition of Zn-Mn alloy by the addition of Na2SeO3 to the cathode has been studied by cyclic voltammetry, linear sweep voltammetry, chronopotentiometry and electro-chemical impedance methods. It is found that under the conditions of Zn-Mn alloys electro-deposition, Na2SeO3 is reduced to Se32-, which is adsorbed on the surface of cathode, because of the adsorption of Se32-, the adsorption of H is prevented, the partial potential curve of hydrogen moves to negative region about 0.2 V in the presence of 0.1 g•L-1 Na2SeO3.
