Electrochemical Power Sources.
Abstract
The report summarizes research in the areas of electrodes and electrolytes and heat and mass transfer in porous media. Heats of solution were determined for alkali metal salts in nitrile solvents and the structure of electrolytes - nitrile solutions has been studied by Raman spectroscopy and conductance. Data on non-aqueous electrolytes has been compiled. Properties of reference electrodes and liquid junctions in propylene carbonate have been studied potentiometrically and the problem of uncompensated resistance has been studied by electrostatic methods. The effect of cycling on sealed Ni-Cd batteries has been studied. Liquid-gas distribution in porous media has been studied by modeling techniques and by gamma scattering. The coupling of thermal and mass transport with electrochemical processes at the three phase interface has been studied using a microelectrode, and theoretical studies of evaporation from thin films have been performed.
