Abstract
The electrochemical behaviour of oxide ions has been studied in fluoride melts(LiF/NaF eutectic) by cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry and chronopotentiometry. The purpose is to determine whether these techniques can be used for titration of free oxide ions (O2-) in molten fluorides released by lithium oxide additions. Cyclic voltammetry is shown to be unsuitable for this purpose due to oxygen bubbling disturbing the oxidation peak, while square wave voltammetry is far more appropriate because the observed signal is a well defined oxidation peak with a height proportional to the oxide content. Thus, the present work is focused on a strategy of oxide ions titration by square wave voltammetry. In addition, this work allows assessing that the electrochemical reduction of oxide ions proceeds by diffusion of these species, and the O2- diffusion coefficient is estimated by chronopotentiometry.
