Electrochemical reduction of solid SiO2by using a contacting electrode method was investigated in molten CaCl2at 1123K. The samples were prepared by potentiostatic electrolysis at 0.35–1.30V (vs. Ca2+/Ca) for 1h. From the results of XRD, SEM and EPMA, it was confirmed that SiO2was electrochemically reduced to Si at 1.25V or more negative potential, which agreed with the thermodynamic calculation. The current–time curves during electrolysis and the cross-sectional SEM measurements of the samples clearly showed that reduction rate is higher at more negative potential. In addition, Si–Ca alloy formation was confirmed at 0.35V.
