摘　　要：The electrochemical reduction of Zr^4＋（complex） ions in NaCl-KCl-K2ZrF6 molten salt on Pt electrode was investigated using cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry at 1023 K.Two cathodic reduction peaks related to Zr^4＋/Zr^2＋ and Zr^2＋/Zr steps were observed in the cyclic voltammograms.The result was also confirmed by square wave voltammetry.The diffusion coefficient of Zr^4＋（complex） ions at 1023 K in NaCl-KCl-K2ZrF6 melt,measured by cyclic voltammetry,is about 4.22×10^-6 cm^2/s.The characterization of the deposits obtained by potentiostatic electrolysis at different potentials was investigated by XRD,and the results were well consistent with the electrochemical reduction mechanism of Zr^4＋（complex） ions.The electrochemical reduction of Zr^4＋（complex） ions in NaCl-KCl-K2ZrF6 molten salt on Pt electrode was investigated using cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry at 1023 K.Two cathodic reduction peaks related to Zr^4＋/Zr^2＋ and Zr^2＋/Zr steps were observed in the cyclic voltammograms.The result was also confirmed by square wave voltammetry.The diffusion coefficient of Zr^4＋（complex） ions at 1023 K in NaCl-KCl-K2ZrF6 melt,measured by cyclic voltammetry,is about 4.22×10^-6 cm^2/s.The characterization of the deposits obtained by potentiostatic electrolysis at different potentials was investigated by XRD,and the results were well consistent with the electrochemical reduction mechanism of Zr^4＋（complex） ions.
