Electrochemical and thermodynamic properties of ytterbium and formation of Zn–Yb alloy on liquid Zn electrode

The electrochemical behavior of Yb(III) in LiCl–KCl–YbCl3 melts on W and liquid Zn electrodes was studied at 813 K. On the W electrode, the diffusion coefficient of Yb(III) was determined to be 3.38 × 10−5 cm2 s−1. The apparent standard Gibbs energy of the reaction: YbCl2+1/2Cl2→YbCl3 in LiCl–KCl me...
