Current efficiency during electrolysis of sulfide-alkaline tellurium solutions

Abstract

Sulfide-alkaline electrolytes were studied for the cathodic deposition of tin, antimony, mercury, indium, and tellurium. Electrolysis of sulfide-alkaline solutions of antimony has found industrial application, and a large number of works have been devoted to its study. There is insufficient information in the literature on changes in the ionic composition of the electrolyte during the electrolysis of thio-salt solutions and its relationship to current efficiency. An attempt to study this issue with reference to tellurium solutions is described in this report. The electrolysis of such solutions was first considered earlier.
