摘要: 用循环伏安法、计时电位法、计时电流法对710℃温度下的NaCl-KCl-CuCl熔盐体系中铜的电化学还原机理和电结晶过程进行了研究,结果表明:Cu的电化学还原过程是由离子的扩散速度和电子得失速度混合控制的准可逆过程;其还原机理是Cu++e-→Cu;电结晶过程为接近半球形三维晶核的瞬间成核过程;组成为XNaC: XKCl :XCuCl =1:1:0.01的熔盐体系中Cu离子的扩散系数为4.3×10-4cm?s-1。

Abstract: The electrochemical reaction mechanism and electrocrystallization process of Cu on copper electrode in the eutectic NaCl-KCl-CuCl molten salt were investigated by means of cyclic voltammetry, chronopotentiometry and chronoamperometry technique at 710 ℃. The results show that the electrochemical reaction process of Cu is a quasi-reversible process mix-controlled by Cu+ diffusion rate and electron transport rate; the electrochemical reduction mechanism is Cu++e→Cu; the electrocrystallization process of copper is an instantaneous hemispheroid three-dimensional nucleation process; the Cu+ diffusion coefficient is 4.3×10-4~cm2•s-1 under the experimental conditions.
