Abstract

A theoretical analysis of the non-steady-state reaction distribution in a porous electrode with a high exchange current density is made by application of a simplified macrohomogeneous model for porous electrodes. The dimensionless transfer current for short times is given as an expansion in time, and two terms in a moderate time solution are also presented. At moderate times the current is split into time-dependent and time-independent parts, but this distinction is not apparent in the short time solution. For the limiting case of reversible kinetics, the analysis specifies the fraction of the superficial current density that will be distributed through the electrode. Treatments for the PbO 2 and LiAl electrodes are presented as examples.
