“…The cuprous ion is thermodynamically unstable and disproportionates to Cu 0 and Cu 2+ in most aqueous electrolytes, thus making the cuprous systems more difficult to study. However, the addition of high concentrations of halide ions and the absence of oxygen stabilize the copper(I) oxidation state. − The diffusion coefficient of Cu 2+ in sulfate electrolytes has been widely studied. − However, relatively few papers have been published on diffusion in the copper chloride electrolyte, ,− and much of that work is only of the cupric ,− chloride species and less of the cuprous , chloride species. In addition, to the best of our knowledge, the cuprous/cupric bromide system has not been examined.…”
