Abstract
Direct electroreduction of solid cuprous chloride to prepare copper powder in a “neutral” ambienttemperature ionic liquid 1butyl3methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ionic liquid BMIMBF4 was investigated Cyclic voltammetry of the CuCl powder in a Ptpowder cavity microelectrode exhibited that solid CuCl can be electrochemical reduced in the ionic liquid Chronoamperometry of the salt powder filled Mocavity electrode current collector in the ionic liquid further demonstrated the conversion of chlorideto metal inside the cavity as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy energydispersive Xray and Xray diffraction spectra
