摘要
Electrolysis has been performed on a fused mixture of magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, and magnesium borate at 600degreesC under Ar atmosphere using a graphite anode and a Pt cathode. Magnetic measurements and X-ray diffractonietry have revealed that the resultant deposit on the cathode contains MgB2. A voltammetric measurement at the initial stage of electrolysis has shown that the threshold cathode voltage for the formation of MgB2 from the molten salts is - 1.6 V.
