Abstract

Electrochemical behavior of Mg, Li and Sn on tungsten electrodes in LiCl-KCl-MgCl2SnCl2 melts at 873 K was investigated. Cyclic voltammograms (CVs) showed that the underpotential deposition (UPD) of magnesium on pre{deposited tin leads to the formation of a Mg-Sn alloy, and the succeeding underpotential deposition of lithium on pre-deposited Mg-Sn alloy leads to the formation of a Mg-Li-Sn alloy. Chronopotentiometric measurements indicated that the codepositon of Mg, Li and Sn occurs at current densities more negative than {1.16 A¢cm i2 . X-ray difiraction (XRD) indicated that Mg2Sn phase is formed via galvanostatic electrolysis. The element Mg
