Research on Electrochemical Energy Conversion Systems.
Abstract
The research on electrochemical energy conversion systems has involved work on three tasks; high energy galvanic cells, the mathematical analysis of electrochemical energy conversion processes, and exploratory research. The investigation of high energy galvanic cells has dealt with two problems; the first, the electroreduction of benzofuroxan in organic electrolytes and, the second, the feasibility of the air electrode in organic systems. In connection with the feasibility study of the air electrode the solubility of oxygen was measured in four organic solvents and two organic electrolytes. The mathematical analysis of energy conversion systems dealt with the development of velocity-acceleration profiles applicable to military vehicle propulsion. Exploratory research dealt with solid proton conductors. (Author)
