The influence of ammonium thiocyanate (NH4SCN) on the mechanism of manganese electrodeposition from a chloride-based acidic solution was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM). The EQCM data were represented as plots d Delta m dt(-1) versus E, known as massograms. Because massograms are not affected by interference from the hydrogen evolution reaction, they clearly show the manganese reduction and oxidation processes. By comparing the voltammograms with their corresponding massograms, it was possible to differentiate mass changes due to faradaic processes from those due to non-faradaic processes. Morphology, chemical composition and structure of the manganese deposits formed in different potential ranges were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that in the absence of NH4SCN, Mn(OH)(2(s)) is formed in the potential range -1.1 to -0.9 V due to the hydrogen evolution reaction in this region. At more cathodic potentials, the deposition of beta-manganese and the inclusion of Mn(OH)2(5) into the deposit occur; both of these species underwent dissolution by non-faradaic processes during the anodic scan. In the presence of NH4SCN, the formation of alpha- and gamma-manganese was observed. When the potential was <=-1.8 V and [NH4SCN] exceeded 0.3 M, the ox-manganese phase was favored.
