Abstract
Lithium was electrochemically inserted into zinc from the mixed solution of ethylene carbonate and methyl ethyl carbonate containing 1M LiClO4, and the lithium isotope effect accompanying the insertion was investigated. The x value of LixZn after the electrolysis ranged from 0.013 to 0.139. The single-stage separation factor, S, ranged from 1.005 to 1.023 with the lighter isotope, 6Li, being preferentially fractionated into the zinc phase. The present results on lithium isotope effect qualitatively agreed with calculated results based on the molecular orbital theory.
