A new bath for the electrodeposition of aluminium. IV. The electrochemical behaviour of the rotating aluminium disc electrode in pure LiAlH4/THF‐toluene solutions

The electrochemical behaviour of the rotating aluminium disc electrode in LiAlH4/tetrahydrofuran (THF)‐toluene solutions was studied. The kinetic parameters controlling the electrode process were investigated. The effect of concentration of LiAlH4, the speed of rotation of the rotating disc electrode, and the temperature on the current density‐potential behaviour of the aluminium electrode during the anodic and cathodic polarization was analyzed. The results were compared with those obtained for pur AlCl3 or AlCl3 + LiAlH4/THF‐toluene solutions.
