Cyclic Voltammetry of Silver Chloride in Lithium Chloride-Potassium Chloride Eutectic.
Abstract
TRY), Fused salts, Silver, Reduction(Chemistry), Dissolving, ChloridesSilver chloride, Cyclic voltammetry, *VoltammetryThe technique of cyclic voltammetry was employed to study the deposition and dissolution of silver metal at platinum wire electrodes in molten lithium chloride-potassium chloride eutectic at 450C. It was shown that the reduction of Ag(I) occurs reversibly and obeys the theoretical equations for the deposition of an insoluble substance up to scan rates of one V/sec. Further, at scan rates up to two V/sec, only one cathodic peak and one anodic peak were observed for the deposition and dissolution of silver metal, respectively. At higher scan rates (> 5 V/sec), an additional cathodic peak and an anodic peak were observed due to the formation and removal of monolayer, respectively. (Author)
