Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electrolytic cells. In particular, it relates to an electrolytic cell for studying the electrochemical behavior of electroactive oxides in a molten electrolyte. Background technique

[0002] Electrolysis of metal oxides in molten electrolytes is a fundamental method for the green preparation of metals. Metal oxides generally dissociate into metal cations and oxygen ions in the molten electrolyte. During electrolysis, metal cations are reduced at the cathode to obtain metals; while oxygen ions are oxidized at the anode to produce oxygen. In order to formulate a reasonable electrolysis process route, it is necessary to grasp the redox law of the electroactive ions corresponding to the metal oxides prepared in the molten electrolyte.

[0003] At present, the research on the electrochemical behavior of electroactive substances is generally carried out in a three-electrode electrolytic cell system. However...
