摘要
The mechanism of the cathodic process of Y(Ⅲ) on platinum and molybdenum electrode in molten LiF YF 3 Y 2O 3 was investigated by means of cyclic voltammetry. The number of electron transferred was calculated. The results show that the electrochemical reduction of Y(Ⅲ) is a reversible one step three electrons reaction and the cathodic process is diffusion controlled. The reductive product easily forms the intermetallic compounds with the platinum electrode, but it is pure yttrium on the molybdenum electrode.
