Effect of additives (KF, KI) on nucleation mechanism and morphology of deposited products of Fe in LiCl-KCl system
In this work, the effects of additives (KF and KI) on the reduction/nucleation mechanism of Fe(II) and the morphology of the deposits were investigated in LiCl-KCl molten salt using electrochemical techniques. It was found that with the continuous increase of F− or I−, the deposition potential of Fe shifted slightly towards the negative direction, and the mechanism of action was different. The nucleation mechanism of Fe under different additives (KI and KF) was analyzed using chronoamperometry, and found to be instantaneous nucleation. The nucleus density was estimated, indicating that under the same conditions, the nucleus density of Fe after adding F− was slight larger than that after adding I−. Additionally, Potentiostatic electrolysis was carried out by adding different additives to LiCl-KCl molten salt. XRD results showed the formation of Fe coatings. The texture coefficients of Fe before and after adding the additives were calculated, showing that they remained basically unchanged. The surface morphology, roughness and thickness of Fe coatings prepared with different additives were compared by SEM-EDS and LSM, which illustrated that after the addition of F− or I−, the surface morphology of the products changed from blocky particles to spherical aggregates or larger polyhedrons. The roughness was 0.970 μm, 0.840 μm (=4), and 0.801 μm (=4); and the thickness was(51.8 μm, 47.8 μm (=4), and 48.5 μm (=4), respectively.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the journal is to provide a respectful outlet for ''sound science'' papers in all research areas on surfaces and interfaces. We define sound science papers as papers that describe new and well-executed research, but that do not necessarily provide brand new insights or are merely a description of research results.
Surfaces and Interfaces publishes research papers in all fields of surface science which may not always find the right home on first submission to our Elsevier sister journals (Applied Surface, Surface and Coatings Technology, Thin Solid Films)
