FUEL CELL AND ITS RELATED TECHNOLOGY. III. CORRELATION BETWEEN SURFACE CONDUCTIVITY AND CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF ELECTRODE
Abstract
The measurement of Hall effect during chemisorption is discussed. An adsorption cell was designed. The cell is cylindrical in shape, and the area of the axial W filament is negligible in comparison to the film area. An equation is derived for the Hall voltage in a thin cylinder of catalyst. Work completed by Colombani and Goureaux indicates that the measurements are feasible. The experimental set-up and the supplementary instrumentation are briefly described. Conductivity measurements will be made during the chemisorption of hydrocarbon fuel gas upon the catalyst surface. A method is offered for measuring the area and thickness of thin films. (Author)
