The Behavior of Molybdenum Trioxide Electrodes in Nonaqueous Electrolytes.

Abstract

Experimental work with molybdenum trioxide cathodes in organic electrolytes was aimed at increasing the cathodic rate capability of the electrodes. Coulombic analysis of cycling experiments suggests a high coulombic efficiency up to 1.5 F per molybdenum atom. The cathode kinetics is characterized by a fast electron transfer step followed by a slow diffusion step which becomes rate determining at practical current densities. Electrolyte solvent optimization led to a considerable increase in rate capability up to 25 mA/sq cm. (Author)
