Abstract
The electrochemical properties of lithium ferrite were studied using a dense electrode in a fuel environment. The electrode was cut from a dense piece sintered at 1350°C for 2 h to reach a density of 4.23 g/cm3. After assembly, the electrode was submerged in a pool of molten carbonate at 650°C. Steady state, cyclic voltammetry, and potential‐step measurements were carried out. Data obtained indicate that lithium ferrite is less active than nickel or copper. Cyclic voltammetry shows two waves: the first wave is due to hydrogen oxidation, and the second wave is contributed by oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+ in the structure of lithium ferrite.Keywords
