Infrared Spectroscopy of Molten LiCl-KCl-LiH

“…There are several promising applications which use hydrogen electrode reactions involving H Ϫ ions, e.g., the Li-H 2 thermally regenerative fuel cell, 1,3,4 SiH 4 production in molten alkali halides, [5][6][7] and evaluation of both thermodynamic and kinetic data for metalhydride systems at high temperatures. [8][9][10] Related with these applications, there have been electrochemical studies which deal with the anodic 2,11-13 and cathodic [14][15][16] hydrogen electrode reaction in molten LiCl-KCl-LiH systems.…”

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Study of a Hydrogen Electrode Reaction at a Zn Electrode in a Molten LiCl−KCl−LiH System

“…Hydride ions (H - ) have been reported to exist in molten alkali metal halides containing alkali metal hydrides, such as a molten LiCl−KCl−LiH system. , The hydrogen electrode reaction involving H - ion in a molten LiCl−KCl−LiH system is worth studying from both engineering and scientific aspects. From an engineering point of view, there are several promising applications that use electrochemical reactions involving H - ions, for example, the Li−H 2 thermally regenerative fuel cell, ,, tritium recovery from molten salt for a thorium molten salt reactor and fusion reactor, − an SiH 4 production in molten alkali halides for the industrial manufacture of Si semiconductors . The electrochemical reaction of the H - ion also provides a precise and convenient means to investigate both thermodynamic and kinetic behaviors of metal-hydride systems at high temperatures. − Related with these applications, there have been a number of studies that deal with the anodic ,− and cathodic − hydrogen electrode reaction in molten LiCl−KCl−LiH systems.…”
