Development of a Ca-K-Li-RE-Cl (RE = La, Ce, Pr, Nd) rare-earth molten salt database: RE-Cl and CaCl2-RECl3 binary systems

During molten salt electrolysis of rare earths, the presence of multiple oxidation states of the rare earths can greatly affect Faradaic yields. The stability of these different oxidation states can be controlled by the composition of the molten salt. To assess the stability of t...
