Electrochemical Synthesis of CeB6 Nanotubes

Abstract

This work presents the results of joint electroreduction of tetrafluorborate and cerium-ions, and determines the conditions of electrochemical synthesis of cerium borides in KCl-NaCl melts at the 973 K on tungsten electrode by the linear and cyclic voltammetry. Based on the current-voltage studies the optimal modes of cerium boride electrodeposition were found.
