Electrode Kinetics of the Alkali Metals in AlCl[sub 3]-Propylene Carbonate Solution

Abstract

Kinetic parameters of the deposition‐dissolution process for solid alkali metals in alkali metal chloride‐‐propylene carbonate solution were evaluated using micropolarization measurements at 25° C. The exchange current densities were evaluated at different molalities of the alkali metal chlorides, and the cathodic transfer coefficients were calculated from the concentration dependence.
