摘要
The electrochemical formation of Mg-Li alloys was investigated in a molten LiCl-KCl (58-42 mol%) eutectic melt at 723 K. The cyclic voltammogram. for a Mo electrode showed that the electroreduction of Li+ proceeds in a single step and the deposition potential of Li metal was -2.40 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). For Mg electrode, the electroreduction of Li+ takes place at less cathodic potential than that at the Mo electrode which was caused by the formation of Mg-Li alloys. Phase of the deposited Mg-Li alloys could be controlled by the electrolysis potential, and the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that alpha-Mg and beta-Li phases were obtained at -2.35 and -2.55 V, respectively. (c) 2007 Mi Lin Zhang. Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Chinese Chemical Society.
