Electrochemical Behaviour of Americium Ions in LiCl-KCl Eutetic Melts
This work presents a study on the electrochemical properties of AmCl3 in a molten LiClKCl eutectic, at a temperature range of 733-833 K.
Transient electrochemical techniques, such as cyclic voltammetry and chronopotentiometry, on inert metallic tungsten working electrode have
been used to investigate the reduction mechanism of Am3+ ions. The results show that Am3+ is reduced to Am metal by a two-step mechanism
corresponding to the Am3+/Am2+ and Am2+/Am0 transitions.
