Abstract: By the measurement of cyclic voltammetry and current efficiency at PbO2, Pt, graphite and two kinds of DSA electrodes, it was found that the electrocatalysis behaviour of Br - oxidation at different electrode materials is different, the results of Br - oxidation in an acidic solution and a neutral solution are also different. The best conditions for Br - oxidation are to use PbO2 electrode in a neutral solution, the highest current efficiency is 96.1%, moreover, the initial oxidation potential is lower, but the oxidation current is higher.

Key words: Br - ion, Eletrooxidation, Anode materials, Cyclic voltammetry, Current efficiency
