Electrochemical and Phase Analysis of Si(IV) on Fe Electrode in Molten NaCl-NaF-KCl-SiO2 System

The electrochemical behaviour of Si(IV) ions on Fe electrode in the NaCl-NaF-KCl-SiO2 molten salt system (0.177 mol·L−1 SiO2) at 1,103 K was studied by using cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and chronopotentiometry.Experiments conducted using the first two methods indi...

description The electrochemical behaviour of Si(IV) ions on Fe electrode in the NaCl-NaF-KCl-SiO2 molten salt system (0.177 mol·L−1 SiO2) at 1,103 K was studied by using cyclic voltammetry, square wave voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and chronopotentiometry.Experiments conducted using the first two methods indicated that the reduction of Si(IV) occurred in two steps: Si(IV) → Si(II) → Si(0). Furthermore, the electrochemical reaction is a quasi-reversible process, which is controlled by both the ion diffusion and electron transport rates. The electrochemical crystallization of Si was found to be a transient, the three-dimensional nucleation process. The cyclic voltammetry curves indicate that the diffusion coefficient of Si(IV) is 1.16×10–5 cm2·s−1. The phases formed on the surface of the deposit were analysed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometer. The results show that Fe and Si have formed intermetallic compounds Fe3Si, FeSi, and Fe5Si3.
