| Description |
The present work reports electrochemical synthesis of MgB6 from molten salts using the precursor consists of LiF–B2O3–MgCl2.
An attempt has been made to synthesize metastable phase MgB6 crystal by electrolysis method. DTA/TGA studies were made to
determine the eutectic point of the melt and it was found to be around 900∘C. The electrolysis was performed at 900∘C under
argon atmosphere, at current density of 1.5A/cm2.The electrodeposited crystals were examined using XRD, SEM, and XPS. From
the above studies, the electrochemical synthesis method for hypothetical MgB6 from chloro-oxy-fluoride molten salt system is
provided. Mechanism for the formation of magnesium hexaboride is discussed
