Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The electroreduction of copper (II) and selenium (IV) ions on vitreous carbon electrode from sulfate electrolyte has been studied. The studies have shown that during the concurrent reduction copper is first reduced within 0.15-0.05 V range of potentials. In this range of potentials the cementation reaction to form selenium compounds with copper is possible. Qualitative characteristics of Cu2Se compound have been obtained at −0.3 V potential. The composition has been confirmed by XPA and electron-probe analysis.
