Abstract:

This report describes work which has been devoted to the development of a suitable working electrode for use in electrochemical fluorination studies in anhydrous HF AHF. Investigations of possible working electrodes have involved antimony, bismuth, silver, aluminum, titanium, cobalt, iron, and monel. Antimony, bismuth, and silver show a high anodic dissolution rate in AHF, while the other metals studied show passive behavior. Of the latter metals only monel formed a protective coating which permitted appreciable fluorine evolution to occur.
