The strong effect of pH on the electrochemical response of MnO 2 electrodes is attributed to the effects of the concentration of hydrogen ions on numerous equilibria. Namely, the formation of basic salts and hydroxides of zinc and manganese (both individual and mixed) when the critical pH is reached produces deposits on the electrode surface.
