Abstract
The distribution of the concentration of a product, which is soluble in the electrolyte, inside a porous hydrophobic electrode is calculated. During the electrosynthesis under inner-kinetic conditions, the electrode obeys regularities observed in hydrophobic electrodes of fuel cells. The product distribution depends mainly on the polarization at the electrode front, the electrolyte conductivity, and the diffusion coefficient, and slightly depends on the electrode structure. An approximate equation describing the distribution of the product concentration inside the electrode is suggested.
