在LiCl-KCl-MgCl2-ZnCl2-CaCl2熔盐体系中,以钼为惰性电极,在温度为943K时,直接电解制备Mg-Zn-Li-Ca四元合金。循环伏安研究表明,在LiCl-KCl熔盐体系中,添加MgCl2、ZnCl2和CaCl2后,Li的析出电位明显正移。计时电位研究表明,当阴极电流密度等于或者更负于-1.55A/cm2时,Mg、Li/Zn和Ca能够实现四元沉积。X射线衍射研究表明,恒电流电解可以制备出由不同相组成的Mg-Zn-Li-Ca合金。采用金相显微镜和电子扫描显微镜对合金样品进行表征。能谱分析结果表明,Mg元素和Ca元素在合金中分布均匀,而Zn元素主要分布在基体的边缘。
Direct electrodeposition of quarternary Mg-Zn-Li-Ca alloys on a molybdenum electrode from LiCl-KCl-MgCl2-ZnCl2-CaCl2 melts at 943 K was investigated.Cyclic voltammograms(CVs) show that the deposition potential of Li shifts in a positive direction after adding MgCl2,ZnCl2 and CaCl2.Chronopotentiometric measurements indicate that the codepositon of Mg,Li,Zn,and Ca occurs at current densities lower than-1.55 A/cm2.X-ray diffraction(XRD) indicates that Mg-Zn-Li-Ca alloys with different phases were prepared via galvanostatic electrolysis.The microstructures of typical phase of Mg-Zn-Li-Ca alloys were characterized by optical microscopy(OM) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The analysis of energy dispersive spectrometry(EDS) shows that elements of Mg and Ca distribute homogeneously in the Mg-Zn-Li-Ca alloy.However,element Zn mainly locates at the edges of the domain.
