Electrochemical behavior of Y(III) and preparation of Y-Ni intermetallic compounds in molten LiCl-KCl salts

Cyclic voltammograms obtained in molten LiCl-KCl salts before (dotted line) and after (solid red line) the addition of YCl3 (2.44×10−4 mol/cm3) on W electrode at 873 K and scan rate of 0.1 V/s (a) and cyclic voltammograms obtained at different scan rates of 0.04, 0.1, 0.14, 0.16, 0.20 and 0.25 V/s (b) and variation of the cathodic and anodic peak currents with the square root of the scan rates (c)
