The electrochemical reactions of selenium species in a basic melt has been studied by measuring EMF of an cell. The reaction mechanism between elemental and tetravalent selenium consists of at least four electrochemical steps, including intermediates such as Se2+, , and . The reaction sequence from Se4+ to is discussed. The formal potential for each reaction is also determined.
