The invention relates to a method of electrodeposition of zinc. The method comprises the following steps that in a zinc electrodeposition system, an electrolytic cell is provided as a cathode chamberand an anode chamber; the cathode chamber and an anode chamber of the electrolytic cell are separated by an ion exchange membrane, a catholyte and an anolyte are respectively added in the cathode chamber and the anode chamber; and an oxygen precipitation aid is added in the anolyte; and a zinc precipitation aid is added in the catholyte. Compared to conventional zinc electrodeposition processes, the method has the following advantages and features that 1) the oxygen evolution overpotential can be greatly reduced, and the power consumption electrodeposition of zin can be reduced by more than orequal to 10%; 2) the metal in the anode can be prevented from precipitation from the anode and deposited to the cathode through the electrolyte, and the quality of the precipitated zinc can be influenced; and 3) efficient recovery of anode metal in the anode chamber can be achieved.
