摘要
为了探究Nb (IV)在Nb金属形态中的电化学行为,在含K3NbF7的NaCl-KCl熔体中进行了750℃的熔盐电解。发现Nb(IV)的还原分三个阶段:Nb(IV) Nb(III) Nb(II) Nb,而Nb(IV) Nb(III)的还原过程是受扩散机制控制的不可逆过程。在- 3.06 V vs. Cl2/Cl -和750℃的温度下,在KCl-NaCl-K3NbF7熔体中,铌在钼电极上瞬间成核,通过恒电位电解沉积在钼线阴极上,得到了纯度高达98.63%的高纯度金属铌。
K3NbF7's electrochemical characteristics in the NaCl-KCl molten salt system at the Mo electrode
To explore the electrochemical behavior of Nb (IV) for form Nb metal, molten salt electrolysis was carried out in an NaCl-KCl melt containing K3NbF7 at 750 °C. It was discovered that Nb (IV) reduces in three stages: Nb(IV)➔Nb(III)➔Nb(II)➔Nb,and reduction process of Nb(IV)➔Nb(III) was irreversible process controlled by diffusion mechanism. The instantaneous nucleation of niobium on the molybdenum electrode is observed in the KCl-NaCl-K3NbF7 melt, which occurs at a potential of −3.06 V vs. Cl2/Cl− and a temperature of 750 °C, the niobium metal was deposited on Mo wire cathode by constant potential electrolysis, resulting in a high purity of 98.63 %.
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.
