It was determined that in the electrolysis of chromium(I) chloride the electrodeposits containing chromium and chromium(II) oxide which are formed on the cathode surface accelerate catalytically the reaction Cr/sup 2 +/ + H/sup +/ in equilibrium Cr/sup 3 +/ + 1/2 H/sub 2/. As a result of superposition of the chemical reaction on the electrochemical process the absolute hydrogen yield in the electrolysis reaches 3500-4500%.
