Abstract

The equilibrium potential of the H₂/H^- couple has been measured in a molten LiCl-KCl-LiH system at 643-883 K. The Nernst relation holds for the potential at hydrogen pressure, p_H2, of 0.1-1.0 atm and H^- ion concentration, X_H-, of 0.002-0.080 (anion fraction). The standard formal potential of H₂/H^-, E_H2/H-^0′, is evaluated to be 0.258 ± 0.002 V (vs. Li⁺/Li) (p_H2 = 1 atm, X_H- = 1) at 673 K. E_H2/H-^0′ changes linearly with temperature at 643-883 K, having the gradient of -0.575 ± 0.011 mV K^-1. Thermodynamic quantities for formation of LiH in the melt are also estimated. When the activity coefficient of H^- ion, γ_H-, is defined as unity in pure liquid LiH (X_H- = 1), γ_H- in the dilute H^- region (0.002 ≤ X_H- ≤ 0.080) is evaluated to be 7.1.
