Abstract

The voltammetric behaviour of Fe2+, Mn2+ and Cr2+ in molten NaCl, NaF and Na3AlF6 has been studied using a gold wire as the working electrode. The metal ions studied behaved reversibly and the reduction product dissolved into the gold substrate. Diffusion coefficients were calculated from the voltammetric peak currents.
