This research is to fabricate a Pb/WC-ZrO2 inert electrode used in zinc electrodeposition. First, the potential-pH diagram of Pb-H2O system was constructed and the thermodynamic stable region was calibrated in the diagram. On the basis, the co-deposition of Pb, WC and ZrO2 particles from fluorboric acid solutions was realized on the surface of Pb-4wt%Sb substrate. The results show that deposition amounts of ZrO2 and WC particles in the inert electrodes increase with increasing ZrO2 concentrations in the bath, WC particle is easier to deposit into the inert electrodes than ZrO2 particle. The distribution of WC and ZrO2 particles as the second phase within metal matrix Pb is very uniform. Compared with Pb-1wt%Ag alloy electrode, Pb/9.91wt%WC-3.62wt%ZrO2 inert electrode possesses better catalytic activity of oxygen evolution.

The reversible electrodeposition of zinc was investigated in an aqueous electrolyte containing zinc bromide (50 mM) and 1-ethylpyridinium bromide ([C2Py]Br, 50 mM) by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and scanning electron microscopy. Unusual voltammetric behaviour for the Zn/ZnII redox couple was observed in the presence of [C2Py]Br. Passivation of the redox couple was observed after a single deposition–stripping cycle at switching potentials more negative than −1.25 V versus Ag/AgCl. This unusual behaviour was attributed to the reduction of 1-ethylpyridinium cations to pyridyl radicals and their follow-up reactions, which influenced the zinc electrochemistry. This behaviour was further seen to modify the nucleation process of electrodeposition, which altered the morphology of zinc electrodeposits.

The processes of lead and zinc electrodeposition from the very dilute electrolytes were compared by the analysis of polarization characteristics and by the scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis of the morphology of the deposits obtained in the galvanostatic regime of electrolysis. The exchange current densities for lead and zinc were estimated by comparison of experimentally obtained polarization curves with the simulated ones obtained for the different the exchange current density to the limiting diffusion current density ratios. Using this way for the estimation of the exchange current density, it is shown that the exchange current density for Pb was more than 1300 times higher than the one for Zn. In this way, it is confirmed that the Pb electrodeposition processes are considerably faster than the Zn electrodeposition processes. The difference in the rate of electrochemical processes was confirmed by a comparison of morphologies of lead and zinc deposits obtained at current densities which corresponded to 0.25 and 0.50 values of the limiting diffusion current densities.
