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

“…[15][16][17] It is reported in the literature that the fused salt electrolysis is the only suitable method for the deposition of boron. 1 Molten salt electrolysis is a versatile method for the synthesis of high purity metals, 18,19 electrocoating, 20 formation of alloys, 18,21 in-situ synthesis of different refractory materials 22 and synthesis of mixed nano, submicron and micron sized materials suitable for various industrial applications. [23][24][25] Molten salt based electrodeposition of boron has been explored by researchers in laboratory as well as industrial scale.…”

Synthesis and Characterization of Ether Adducts of Thorium Tetrahydroborate Th(BH4)4 and Chemical Vapor Deposition of Thorium Boride Thin Films

“…Binary borides are known for most of the metals in the periodic table. − For the actinide element thorium, there are three established boride phases: ThB 4 , ThB 6 , and ThB 12 . − The tetraboride ThB 4 , which is isostructural with UB 4 , crystallizes in a tetragonal cell in which thorium atoms fill the holes in a three-dimensional network of octahedral B 6 units that are vertex-linked along the c -axis and connected together in the ab plane by B–B bonds to B 2 units. − Like other known hexaborides, ThB 6 adopts a cubic structure in which the thorium atoms fill the holes in a 3D network of vertex-linked B 6 octahedra . The dodecaboride ThB 12 , which is synthesized at high temperature and pressure, is isostructural with UB 12 .…”
