However, the hydrogen inhibitor had little effect on the cathodic current efficiency of Zn electrodeposition, because in this case the S species with lone-pair electrons in the inhibitor was hard to be chemically adsorbed on the surface of Zn with fully-occupied outer valence electron orbit. Zn价电子已满,含有孤对电子的硫族化合物不能在其表面发生化学吸附,故抑氢剂对纯Zn电镀的阴极电流效率影响不大。
