Cathodic passivation of Mo in 1. 5 M LiAlCl/sub 4//SOCl/sub 2/

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5149550

Cathodic passivation of Mo in 1.5 M LiAlCl/sub 4//SOCl/sub 2/ is initially limited by Fowler-Nordheim tunnel emission of electrons from the metal to localized states in the LiCl film. After the establishment of a space-charge layer at the Mo/LiCl interface, film growth becomes kinetically limited by impurity (hopping) conduction of electrons through the localized states. A simplified electronic structure of the Mo/LiCl/SOCl/sub 2/ half-cell is presented.
