Abstract

The cyclic voltammetry,open circuit potential-time curve after poteritiostaticelectrolysis,current-time curve at potential step,x-ray diffraction and electron probe microanalysiswere used to investigate the electrode process of Ho(Ⅲ)reduced on iron electrode in molten chloridesand the phases of surface alloy layer.The Ho-Fe alloys are formed at first,and then the metallicholmium is deposited when Ho(Ⅲ)is reduced on iron electrede. The charge transfer is reversible. Thefree energies of formation for the four intermetallic compounds of Ho-Fe system,the diffusioncoefficients and diffusion activation energy of Ho in alloyed cathode are determined.

Keywords

Electroreduction of Ho(Ⅲ), kCl-HoCl_3, Ho-Fe alloy, Free energy offormation
