Electrochemistry of Deposition of Boron from KCl-KF-KBF4Melts: Voltammetric Studies on Platinum Electrode

“…The electrochemical behavior of boron in various melt systems has been studied by many researchers by using electroanalytical techniques. [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] The mechanism of cathodic deposition of boron from fluoride and fluoride-chloride melts has been studied extensively. The electroreduction of KBF 4 in molten eutectic mixture of LiF-NaF-KF, as reported by Brookes et al, 40 follows a single-step reversible three-electron reduction process.…”

Employing LiF-KF-NaF (FLINAK) z E-mail: sas@igcar.gov.in melt, Polyakova et al 41 reported an irreversible three-electron reduction process for BF 4 − on a silver electrode and showed a wide electrochemical window.…”

Insights into the Electrochemistry of Deposition of Boron from KCl-KF-NaBF4 Melt

“…Researchers have studied electrodeposition of elemental boron from various boron containing melts [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. In this context fluoroborate containing melts have been extensively studied [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. The reduction of B(III) in NaCl-KCl-MBF 4 (M = Na and K) melts was studied by Taranenko et al [25].…”
