Generation and Measurement of Audiofrequency Power for Chemical-Electrical Discharge Processes... 

Active particles, free atoms, radicals, ions, electrons, and excited particles produced in the field of high-energy radiation or in electric discharge interact with various chemical compounds. This interaction is accompanied by a variety of homogeneous and heterogeneous physical-chemical processes. 

To ensure a sufficient electronic and thermal conductivity of the positive electrode during the charge and discharge process, conductive additives are required in the positive, transition metal oxide-based electrode.3133 Compared to metal powders as potential conductivity enhancer, carbon materials combine high electronic and thermal conductivity with low weight, low costs, relatively high chemical inertness, and nontoxicity. Conductive carbons optimize the electrical resistivity of the positive electrode mass but are not involved in the electrochemical redox process which delivers the...
