The objective of this study was to developed a new type of amalgamated zinc electrode and examine its catalitic and selective characteristics. The mechanism of xylose reduction and hydrogen evolution reactions was investigated. A thorough knowledge of the mechanism of these reactions enables modelling of the composition and structure of the cathode material. The obtained experimental results have suggested that the developed amalgamated zinc cathode has good mechanical and electrochemical properties and that, as such, it can be used in industrial cells for xylitol production.
