Using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and a relaxation method with galvanostatic perturbation the kinetics and mechanism of the magnesium electrode reaction in six melts of the binary MgCl 2 -NaCl system were determined at several temperatures. A three-step electrode process was found, the high frequency one being pure charge-transfer whereas the low frequency one showing mixed charge transfer-diffusion character. The exchange current density for the high frequency step is in the range from 20 to 50 A cm -2 whereas for the low frequency step it varies from 3 to 10 A cm -2 . On the basis of the corresponding exchange current densities and structural and thermodynamic data, a mechanism of the overall electrode reaction in these melts is proposed. The course of the low frequency exchange current density with the composition, corresponds to the change of the MgCl 2 thermodynamic activity in the more di ute solutions of MgCl 2 in the melt.
