Properties of Porous Electrodes

  • Chapter
Electrochemical Processes in Fuel Cells

Part of the book series: Anorganische und allgemeine Chemie in Einzeldarstellungen ((ANORGANISCHE,volume 9))

Abstract

Practical units of fuel cells could not operate without porous electrode structures. Porous electrodes with their large electrochemically active surface allow reasonable currents to be supplied at acceptable losses due to polarization (see section 2 of chapter II). Although a few properties, like maximum available surface of electrocatalyst and hydrogenation and dehydrogenation of carbonaceous species for Teflon-bonded platinum black electrodes, and formation of oxygen layers for Raney nickel electrodes, have been discussed in preceding chapters, a discussion of the parameters that determine the operation of porous electrodes had to be offered in a separate chapter. While the empirical aspects concerning the operation of porous electrodes are covered in this chapter, theoretical aspects are dealt with in chapter XVI.
