FUEL ELEMENTS. KINETICS OF ELECTRODE PROCESSES (COLLECTION OF ARTICLES),
Abstract
The collection contains survey articles on the theory of work of fuel elements allowing direct conversion of chemical energy of fuel into electrical. Methods of macroscopic description of porous electrodes are considered taking into account a large number of transport and kinetic stages, model systems, capillary phenomena, kinetics of electrochemical conversions on smooth electrodes. Attention is allotted to the kinetics and mechanism of electroreduction of oxygen on metals-catalysts (metals of the platinum group, silver, nickel and on silver-nickel alloys) widely used in electrochemical generators. The mechanism of oxidation in fuel elements of such forms of fuel as methane, methanol, formic acid and hydrazine is described.
