Overview over studies of electrodeposition of Al or Al alloys from low temperature chloroaluminate molten salts

摘要

Studies using low-temperature chloroaluminate molten salts are introduced. The physical and chemical properties have been elucidated from around the 1930s, and electrodeposition of Al alloys was reported more recently. Electrodeposition of Bi, Sb, and Te using an AlCl3-NaCl-KCl molten salt is also introduced as an application of molten salts.
