Title: Determination of kinetic properties of Sm(III)/Sm(II) reaction in LiCl–KCl molten salt using cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy

Abstract

Electrochemical and kinetic properties of samarium (Sm) in LiCl-KCl eutectic salt were explored at various concentrations and temperatures. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) were performed to determine diffusion coefficient and the rate constant (k0). In addition, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was conducted for additional understandings on the kinetic behaviors of Sm(III)/Sm(II) couple. The values of the diffusion coefficients were in the range of 3.54 × 10^-6 to 9.58 × 10^-5 cm² s^-1 and the values of k⁰ were estimated to be in the range of 0.63 × 10^-2 to 1.11 × 10^-2 cm s^-1. The values of i₀ for Sm(III)/Sm(II) were computed by obtaining the charge transfer resistance from the curve fitting analysis, ranging from 1.04 ×10^-3 to 2.97×10^-3 A cm^-2.

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy and Cyclic Voltammetry Methods for Monitoring SmCl₃ Concentration in Molten Eutectic LiCl-KCl

Journal Article Shaltry, Michael R. ; Allahar, Kerry N. ; Butt, Darryl P. ; ... - Journal of Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Waste Technology

Molten salt solutions consisting of eutectic LiCl-KCl and concentrations of samarium chloride (0.5 to 3.0 wt%) at 500 C were analyzed using both cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The CV technique gave the average diffusion coefficient for Sm3+ over the concentration range. Equipped with Sm³⁺diffusion coefficient, the Randles-Sevcik equation predicted Sm³⁺ concentration values that agree with the given experimental values. From CV measurements; the anodic, cathodic, and half-peak potentials were identified and subsequently used as a parameter to acquire EIS spectra. A six-element Voigt model was used to model the EIS data in terms of resistance-timemore »« less

Electrochemical behavior of yttrium ion in LiCl-KCl-NaCl eutectic melt

Journal Article Hikino, S ; Xie, G ; Ema, K ; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society; (United States)

This paper reports that the electrochemical reduction of yttrium ion on a molybdenum electrode in a LiCl-LCl-NaCl eutectic melt at 723 K was found to be almost reversible and to proceed by a one-step three electron reaction. The diffusion coefficient D of the Y(III) ion was measured to be (3.3 {plus minus} 0.4) {times} 10{sup {minus}6} cm{sup 2}s{sup {minus}1} by cyclic voltammetry, (5.0 {plus minus} 0.9) {times} 10{sup {minus}6} cm{sup 2}s{sup {minus}1} by the rotating disk electrode method, and (7.1 {plus minus} 0.7) {times} 10{sup {minus}6} cm{sup 2}s{sup {minus}1} by chronopotentiometry.

Electrochemistry of Europium(III) Chloride in 3 LiCl – NaCl, 3 LiCl – 2 KCl, LiCl – RbCl, and 3 LiCl – 2 CsCl Eutectics at Various Temperatures

Journal Article Schroll, Cynthia A. ; Chatterjee, Sayandev ; Levitskaia, Tatiana G. ; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

Here we report the effect of changing the eutectic melt composition on the electrochemical properties of europium(III) chloride under pyroprocessing conditions. The number of electrons transferred, redox potentials and diffusion coefficients were determined using various electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical techniques in four different eutectic mixtures (3 LiCl - NaCl, 3 LiCl - 2 KCl, 3 LiCl - RbCl, and 3 LiCl - 2 CsCl) while varying the temperature of the melt. It was determined that Eu3+ undergoes a one electron reduction to Eu2+ in each melt at all temperatures evaluated. Within all the melts a positive shift in the redox potentialmore »« less

Determination of Activity of Neodymium(III) in Molten Eutectic LiCl-KCl using Electrochemical Methods

Journal Article Bagri, Prashant ; Simpson, Michael F. - Transactions of the American Nuclear Society

The pyrochemical recycling of actinides is a promising option for closing the nuclear fuel cycle. The technology is particularly attractive for recycle of metallic and molten salt fuels. The Republic of Korea is also taking a serious look at the application of pyrochemical treatment of used oxide fuel from Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR). The science behind pyrochemical recycling is being actively studied at the various national labs and universities. The Rare Earth Drawdown process is proposed to be included in a commercial pyrochemical recycling facility in order to minimize the amount of waste generated from the processing that will requiremore »« less
Evaluation of the Electrochemical Behavior of CeCl3 in Molten LiCl-KCl Eutectic Utilizing Metallic Ce as an Anode

Journal Article Marsden, K C ; Pesic, B - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

A study of the electrochemical behavior of CeCl3 in LiCl-KCl eutectic was performed in the temperature range 653-973K to ascertain if CeCl3 is a suitable surrogate for UCl3 in the development of nuclear fuel cycle technologies. Reduction of cerium occurs in a single 3-electron step that is quasi-reversible. The diffusion coefficient of Ce(III) was determined by linear sweep voltammetry and chronopotentiometry. The standard potential of Ce(III)/Ce(0) was measured and used to calculate Gibbs free energy and the activity coefficient. The nucleation of cerium on a tungsten substrate was determined to be instantaneous with hemispherical nuclei whose growth is controlled bymore »« less
