Abstract

The electrochemical behavior of dysprosium ions, as well as dysprosium and nickel ion co-reduction, on inert tungsten electrodes and active nickel electrodes were studied in the eutectic KCl-NaCl-CsCl melt at a temperature of 823 K using the methods of cyclic and square-wave voltammetry and open circuit chronopotentiometry. The process of Dy3+ ions electroreduction was found to be reversible and to proceed within a single three-electron stage up to the polarization rate of 0.1 V/s. The increase in the polarization rate indicates a slower rate of the charge transfer, which causes the quasi-reversible character of the charge transfer. It is shown that when the KCl-NaCl-CsCl eutectic melt contains both nickel and dysprosium ions, the voltammetry curves at 823 K have a wave of nickel ion reduction at the potentials of −(0.22–0.28) V and a dysprosium ion reduction at the potentials of −(2.175–2.250) V relative to a chlorine-silver reference electrode. Apart from these waves, the voltammograms have two reduction waves at the potentials of −(1.9–1.95) V and −(2.05–2.1) V. These waves are associated with the reduction of dysprosium ions and their depolarization on metallic nickel, which was preliminary deposited on the tungsten electrode, as well as the formation of the intermetallic phases of dysprosium and nickel of various DyxNiy compositions. The (E-t) dependencies of the open circuit chronopotentiometry elucidate plateaus of the potential delay, which correspond to the dissolution of separate dysprosium and nickel intermetallic phases. Based on the results of the voltammetry changes and the chronopotentiometry of the open circuit, a series of electrochemical syntheses were performed in the potentiostatic regime at the potentials of −(1.7–2.1) V. The intermetallic phases of DyNi5, DyNi3 and DyNi2 were obtained at a definite ratio of the dysprosium and nickel chloride concentrations in the KCl-NaCl-CsCl eutectic melt and at a temperature of 823 K. The synthesized intermetallic samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy.
