Abstract

Activity coefficients of oxide ion were determined by the measurements of the standard formal potential of O2/O2−with a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode in molten (LiCl + KCl): LiCl:KCl = {58.5:41.5 (eutectic), 65:35, 70:30, 75:25} mol% at T = (673 to 803) K. The activity coefficient decreases with the increase of the LiCl content in the melt: (18.7 ± 1.5, 7.7 ± 1.0, 4.1 ± 0.4, and 1.6 ± 0.1), respectively, at T = 773 K in each melt. The result is explained by the attractive force between Li+ and O2− which is stronger than that between K+ and O2−.
