Oxygen electrode reaction was investigated on a boron-doped diamond electrode in a LiCl―KCl eutectic melt. The standard formal potential of O 2 /O 2― decreases with the elevation of temperature. The potential at 773 K is 2.424 ± 0.003 V vs Li + /Li. The standard formal free energy change increases with the temperature elevation, calculated to be ―456.4 ± 0.5 kJ mol ―1 at 773 K. The standard formal entropy and enthalpy changes are determined to be ―151 ± 3 J K ―1 mol ―1 and ―573.5 ± 0.1 kJ mol ―1 , respectively, at 773 K.
