Thermodynamic properties of DyNi intermetallic compounds

Electrochemical behaviour of terbium in the eutectic LiCl-KCl in Cd liquid electrodes.- Evaluation of the thermochemical properties of the TbCdx intermetallic compounds

“…Open-circuit chronopotentiometry is a suitable technique for the study of potential alloy formation and dissolution [9,[14][15][16]25,[28][29][30][31][32]. The measurements were conducted as follows: (i) Firstly the CdFE was electrogenerated " in situ" by cathodic deposition at -1.4 V for a little period, (ii) afterwards the intermetallic compounds were electroformed applying more cathodic potential values, (iii) following the deposition cycle, the potentiostatic control was disconnected and a transient curve of the open circuit potential was measured.…”

“…The equilibrium potentials measured by reference to the Ag(I)jAg couple were converted to the electromotive forces (emf) against Tb(0), making them possible to estimate the relative molar Gibbs energies of Tb in the intermetallics and their Gibbs energies of formation [9,[14][15][16]25,[28][29][30][31][32].

Separation of SmCl3 from SmCl3-DyCl3 system by Electrolysis in KCl-LiCl-MgCl2 Molten Salts

“…Since deposited Dy metal react with Mg and diffuse into the Mg electrode (already deposited on the Mo electrode), the electrode potential gradually shifts to more positive values. During this process, a potential plateau can be observed when the composition of the electrode surface is within a range of a two phase coexisting state [26][27][28][29] . In the beginning, the potential stays at around -1.91 V and -1.82 V (plateau 1 and 2), which is interpreted as the formation of Mg-Dy alloys and Mg metal.…”
