Abstract

Alkali metal electrochemical reductions at a mercury film electrode (MFE) were studied in AlCl 3 :MEIC (MEIC=1-methyl-3-ethylimidazolium chloride) molten salts buffered to a neutral composition with MCl (M=Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs). The MFE was formed by mercury deposition on a 127-μm iridium disk electrode. At the Ir-MFE, the reduction potentials for the Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs amalgams were observed at -1.16, -1.26, -1.62, -1.67, and -1.75 V (vs. Al/Al(III)), respectively
