Cyclic voltammetry, convolution voltammetry, and chronopotentiometry were used to study the electroredn. of Nd(III) on an Fe electrode in molten NaCl-KCl-NdCl3 from 700 to 850? The electrodeposited Nd-Fe alloys were analyzed by x-ray diffraction. The intermetallic compound Fe2Nd was formed 1st, and then metallic Nd was deposited when the Nd(III) was reduced on the Fe electrode. The formation of Fe2Nd was a reversible process.
