Abstract


This review manuscript considers the conditions of metal co-deposition to obtain alloys in the solid state by electrolysis of halide molten salts. The conditions for co-deposition below the melting point of the deposited components from molten salts are considered. The possibilities of the method for co-deposition of alloys from molten salts under the action of direct electric current were summarized. The review considers the main factors affecting the co-deposition process in the solid state, including thermodynamic and kinetic aspects. Methods for the synthesis of various alloys system (melting point of which can be above 1000 °C) and experimental approaches used to organize the process of joint electrodeposition were considered. The results of a comparative analysis of experimental data obtained under various synthesis conditions were presented in order to determine the dependences between the electrolysis parameters and the composition of the alloys.
