Abstract To establish the effect of the nature of supporting electrolytes KCl; K, Na/Cl; K, Na, Cs/Cl; and K, Na, Ba/Cl on the electrochemical deposition of yttrium from melts, the electroreduction of yttrium fluoride in the said melts is studied by a linear voltammetry method. The discharge of ions Y 3+ in all the melts occurs via one stage. The diffusion coefficients, activation energy, product of transfer coefficients and the number of electrons a n a , diffusion layer thickness, diffusion constant, and rate constant of charge transfer are determined.
