FUEL CELL AND ITS RELATED TECHNOLOGY. II. CORRELATION BETWEEN INFRARED SPECTRUM AND CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF ELECTRODE

Abstract

Because of the large number of mirrors involved in the reflection technique for measuring the IR spectra of chemisorbed fuel gases, a transmission technique is considered. The method of preparation of the sample is also described. The measurement of chemisorbed gas spectrums has been previously described. Two main experimental difficulties have to be overcome: (1) the adsorbed substance must be present in sufficient quantity for its absorption spectrum to be observable; and (2) the scatter radiation loss should be reduced to as low a value as possible.
