A METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF alpha, n, AND I(sub O)
Abstract
Interest has increased in electrode reactions having very low chemical polarizations and in the values of the transfer coefficient A, the number of electrons involved in the half reaction n, and the exchange current density I for these reactions. Such interest is pertinent to the investigation of fuel cells and corrosion. A method is presented for evaluating A, n, and I by applying the general polarization equation for a net cathodic slow discharge rate-controlling reaction and the two limiting equations to the polarization data obtained experimentally from an electrode reaction.
