THEORETICAL ANALYSIS OF ELECTROCHEMICAL ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEMS
Abstract
Using the concepts of modern electrode kinetic theory, equations which express the currentvoltage discharge curve and power output of a cell in terms of the kinetic parameters of the individual electrodes are derived. Two new cell parameters are defined which permit the easy characterization and comparison of cell performances. Methods for determining the presence and effects of internal resistance and concentration polarization by analysis of discharge curves are described. Two novel methods for determining the value of the internal resistance of a cell are demonstrated. Experimental verification of the theoreticl concepts and equations is presented. (Author)
