Abstract
Herein we reported the in-situ electrochemical concentration measurement of soluble-soluble redox species (Eu3+/Eu2+ and Sm3+/Sm2+) in molten LiCl-KCl, based on the notable natural convection in molten salts. The combined simulation and experiments confirmed the presence of strong natural convection, which resulted in steady-state current in cyclic voltammetry tests at low scan rates. Interestingly, this natural convection effects offered a novel and simple way to calculate the diffusion coefficient and concentration ratio of soluble redox species.
期刊介绍:
Electrochemistry Communications is an open access journal providing fast dissemination of short communications, full communications and mini reviews covering the whole field of electrochemistry which merit urgent publication. Short communications are limited to a maximum of 20,000 characters (including spaces) while full communications and mini reviews are limited to 25,000 characters (including spaces). Supplementary information is permitted for full communications and mini reviews but not for short communications. We aim to be the fastest journal in electrochemistry for these types of papers.
