Abstract:
      Silicon-titanium alloy was prepared by direct electrolysis of SiO2 and TiO2 mixture through molten salt electrolysis. According to thermodynamic calculation, theoretical decomposition voltage of SiO2 and TiO2 at 700 ℃ is 1.28 V and 1.37 V respectively. Reduced metallic Si and Ti can react spontaneously to form Si-Ti alloys at high temperature, and stable TiSi2 alloy phase is produced more easily than other alloyed phases. Experimental results suggest that TiSi2/Si can be produced applying SiO2/TiO2 with molar ratio of 50︰1 as raw material in equimolar CaCl2-NaCl molten salt under 2.4 V cell voltage at 700 ℃ for 5 h. Morphology of TiSi2/Si is accumulation of porous particles with particle size of 0.2~2.5 μm, and metallic silicon covers surface of TiSi2 alloy.
