Abstract

Abstract The ESCA spectra of carbon and graphite electrodes, used as an anode in the molten KF–2HF system at 100 °C, indicated that a (CF)n film was formed on the surface of the electrodes. This may give strong support to the assumption that the anode effect in molten KF–2HF is caused by the formation of (CF)n on the carbon and graphite electrodes.
