The mechanism of the electrolytic evolution and dissolution of chlorine on graphite

摘要: Abstract The electrolytic evolution and dissolution of chlorine at graphite electrodes in molten lithium chloride were studied by the galvanostatic transients method. A cell especially low inductance permitted use cds up to 200 A/cm 2 provided an electronic switching circuit with a rise time less than 100 ns. anodic results are consistent fast discharge ions followed rate-determining step that involves combination atoms on surface appreciably covered under Temkin conditions. At high cds, cathodic reaction is limited diffusion melt electrode surface; slow step, dissociation surface, charge transfer.
