Electrochemical and thermodynamic studies on the formation of La-Ni intermetallic compounds in molten LiCl-KCl-(3.5%(w))LaCl₃ at 773 K were performed. The electrochemical reduction of La(III) ions was investigated on inert W and reactive Ni electrodes by cyclic voltammetry. The reduction potential of La(III)/La on a Ni electrode was observed at more positive potential than that on a W electrode because of the formation of La-Ni intermetallic compounds when La ions reacted with the Ni substrate. Square-wave voltammetry, chronopotentiometry, and open-circuit chronopotentiometry provided further evidence for the formation of La-Ni intermetallic compounds. Potentiostatic electrolysis on a Ni electrode led to the formation of three La-Ni intermetallic compounds, LaNi₅, La₇Ni₁₆ and La₂Ni₃, according to X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy-energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) analyses. The standard Gibbs free energies of formation for LaNi₅ were estimated from open-circuit chronopotentiometric measurements using the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation and Hess law. The formation of the La-Ni alloy layer could be controlled by the applied potential and time. Potentiostatic electrolysis was an effective method for electrochemical extraction of La.
