The mechanism of the cathode process in the electrolytic deposition of boron on a platinum electrode has been investigated in the systems LiFKFKBF4and LiFKFB2O3by means of the voltametric and chronopotentiometric methods. It was found that in the system LiFKFKBF4boron is reduced directly from the tetrafluoroborate complex anion by a simple 3-electron process. In the system LiFKFB2O3boron oxide reacts with the basic fluoride electrolyte under formation of the BF−4anion and of unspecified oxofluoro complex(es) with a mean oxygen to boron ratio of 1.66. The ratio of boron concentrations in the BF−4anion and in the oxofluoro complex(es) is about 0.1. The difference between the deposition potential of boron from those two electrochemically active species is about 0.47 V in favour of BF−4. The value of the diffusion coefficient of the BF−4anion was found to be 4.4 × 10−9m2s−1(700°C).
