It was demonstrated, however, in 1947 by John O M. Bockris that between the exchange current densities of the hydrogen reaction at different metals and the values of the electron work function (into vacuum), a definite correfation does exist. Many workers have confirmed this correlation. An example of this correlation is shown as a plot of log f vs. X° in Fig. 28.2. 

John O M. Bockris in 1965 and Heinz Gerischer in 1988 analyzed problems of the farther development of electrochemistry.

Fuel Cells (Bockris and Srinivasan, 1969) has been the source book used in many investigations of fuel cell reaction mechanisms and it was written largely at the University of Pennsylvania and partly at the Down State Medical Center of the State University of New York. The University of Pennsylvania was the site of the fundamental work on the 02 reduction mechanism which led to the conclusion that the rate-determining step (in acid solution on Pt) is 02 + H+ + e —> Oads + OHads (under Temkin conditions). This work (Damjanovic and Brusic, 1967) had much influence on the field through its translation from the university laboratory to fuel cell companies carried out by A. John Appleby (Texas A M University), who became the most influential academic in the fuel cell area, with a world-wide influence on the field.
