Neutron Diffraction Study of Aluminum Chloride Imidazolium Chloride Molten Salts

Molten Triazolium Chloride Systems as New Aluminum Battery Electrolytes

The possibility of using molten mixtures of 1,4-dimethyl-l,2,4-triazolium chloride (DMTC) and aluminum chloride (A1C13) as secondary battery electrolytes was studied, in some cases extended by the copresence of sodium chloride. DMTC-A1CI~ mixtures demonstrated high specific conductivity in a wide temperature range. The equimolar system is most conductive and has K values between 4.02 x 10 -~ an...

EFFECT OF A CHLORIDE FLUX ON THE DISSOLUTION OF Mn-Al COMPACTS IN MOLTEN ALUMINUM

Abstract: Dissolution and recovery of Mn-Al compacts with and without a chloride flux was studied by taking samples from the melt after addition of the compact. Events occurring after the addition of the compacts into the melt were studied using water quenched specimens after holding them for a specified time in molten state. The cross sections of these specimens were characterized by SEM a...

Density of Molten Terbium Chloride

Anhydrous (99.99%) TbCl3 was obtained from Aldrich (Milwaukee, WI, USA) and used without further purifications. It was handled in an argon-filled dry box with a water content < 2 ppm and an oxygen content < 1 ppm. A 166Ho radiation source (2.27 MBq) was used because of its desirable decay characteristics (t1/2 = 1200y, up to 8 photons per disintegration, more than 10% branching ratio). A multi-...

XAFS STUDIES OF Ni, Ta AND Nb CHLORIDES IN THE IONIC LIQUID 1-ETHYL-3- METHYL IMIDAZOLIUM CHLORIDE / ALUMINUM CHLORIDE

The structure of anhydrous nickel, niobium and tantalum metal chlorides in ionic liquids IL) is important in the development of new electrochemical alloy deposition techniques. In order to understand the interactions of these metal ions with ionic liquids, we have investigated their structures in situ with X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS). The ionic liquid used in this study is 1-methyl-3-et...
