Electrochemistry of Selenium and Tellurium

The review deals with the principal advances in the electrochemistry of selenium and tellurium. Problems concerning the kinetics and mechanisms of the cathodic reduction of selenium and tellurium to different valence states and their anodic oxidation in aqueous and non-aqueous solutions are discussed. The practical applications of electrochemistry in the isolation, refining, and determination of small amounts of the two elements are described. The bibliography includes 178 references.
