摘要

In this study, the ionic structure, electronic properties, and transport properties of the NaF-KF-AlF3 molten-salt electrolyte system with a molecular ratio of 1.4 and a NaF content of 25 mol% − 45 mol% were investigated at the microscopic level to elucidate its physicochemical behavior. The result indicated that the ion diffusion in molten salt followed the order of Na + > K+> F-> Al3+. The calculated ionic conductivity is ranged from 0.8 S/cm to 1.35 S/cm, while the viscosity varied between 1.0 mPa·s − 1.8 mPa·s. Among the compositions studied, electrolytes containing 40 mol% NaF exhibited optimal transport properties, making it the most suitable candidate for use as an aluminum electrolysis electrolyte in inert anode systems.
