Example text
A judgment has to be made as to what value of φe should be used. The potential that is effective in driving the electrode reaction is that between the species at its closest approach and the potential of the electrode. If E is the potential of the electrode, then the driving force is E − φe. Using this relationship together with Eqs. 15 where zO and zR are the charges (with sign) of the oxidized and reduced species, respectively. Rearranging Eq. 31) yields In experimental determination, the use of Eq.
13) we can derive parameters useful for evaluating and describing an electrochemical system. 13) are compatible both with the Nernst equation [Eq. 6)] for equilibrium conditions and with the Tafel relationships [Eq. 7)] for unidirectional processes. 15) where io is the exchange current. From Eqs. 13), together with Eq. 16) where Ee, is the equilibrium potential. 18) For convenience, the formal standard potential is often taken as the reference point of the potential scale in reversible systems.
Primary cells have produced 800 Wh/kg (see Chap. 33). Recognizing these limitations, while new battery systems will be explored, it will be more difficult to develop a new battery system that will have a significantly higher energy output and still meet the requirements of a successful commercial product, including availability of materials, acceptable cost, safety, and environmental acceptability. Battery research and development will focus on reducing the ratio of inactive to active components to improve energy density, increasing conversion efficiency and rechargability, maximizing performance under the more stringent operating conditions and enhancing safety.
