摘要

Abstract

In manganese electrolysis

electrochemical oscillations and manganese dendrite growth are typical nonlinear phenomena critical for energy consumption reduction. Nonetheless

existing research lacks a deep understanding of their underlying mechanisms. In this study

we systematically explored the evolution of anode electrochemical oscillations during manganese electrolysis and designed a square wave circuit to effectively suppress oscillations and dendrite growth while reducing energy consumption. A novel four-dimensional differential equation was introduced to explore the internal dynamic mechanisms of typical nonlinear behaviors. The experimental results showed that while the evolutionary patterns of current and potential oscillation signals were consistent

their waveform directions were opposite. The square wave current effectively suppressed both electrochemical oscillations and the growth of manganese dendrites. Furthermore

compared to direct current electrolysis

the square wave current improved the current efficiency by 3.6% and reduced the energy consumption by 0.32 kW·h·kg
