All of the catalysts synthesized are listed in Table 2, and the performance in rotating disk electrode (RDE) in acid conditions are depicted in Fig. 6 [65, 67, 70-72]. In RDE tests (RRDE-3A ALS coupled with a Bio-Logic SP-150 multi-potentiostat), a conventional three-electrode electrochemical cell configuration, equipped with a glassy carbon disk working electrode (0.1256 cm geometric area), a Pt helical wire counter electrode, and a saturated calomel (SCE) reference electrode, was used. The activity of a commercial 40 % Pt/C (Hyspec 6000 from Johnson Matthey) catalyst was assessed as well, as reference catalyst toward ORR. 

In order to study Y2C coating on anodized aluminum, the following electrochemical cell configuration is used to study the overall impedance and interface model of the coated samples or parts as shown in Fig. 27 [28, 78].

The diffusion layer thickness depends on the flow rate and the cell geometry, which leads to a characteristic dependence of limiting current on the flow rate. Table 4.1 summarizes the limiting current equations calculated for popular electrochemical cell configurations in terms of their hydrodynamics where it can be seen that the response (current) at an amperometric electrode is proportional to the molar concentration of analyte in the eluate. 

In the two first cases the membrane is usually considered as catalytically inert and is coupled with a conventional fixed bed of catalyst placed on one of the membrane sides. In the case of reactor design based on an electrochemical cell configuration, the catalyst is coated on one of the electrodes or can serve as an electrode itself.

The lines in (a) and (b) were determined from the CNLS fittings of the impedance spectra to the equivalent circuits. In (c), the summation of the impedance spectra of cathode and anode obtained under three-electrode electrochemical cell configuration (lines) were compared with the spectra measured tmder two-electrode electrochemical cell configuration (symbols). (a)-2, (b)-2, and (c)-2 represent the corresponding Bode plots.

Much caution should be taken regarding the effect of the lithium anode on impedance spectra and polarization transients when they are obtained under a two-electrode electrochemical cell configuration. The impedance and polarization caused by a lithium anode significantly changes the overall spectra and transients, respectively, in value and shape. 

Although higher conductivities are preferable, 100-fold or 1000-fold increases are not essential, as a thin-film electrochemical cell configuration can largely compensate for these lower values. Less favorable is the tendency for ion association and low cationic relative mobility (a property shared with aprotic liquids, as opposed to ceramic or glassy electrolytes) in polyether-based materials. These fundamental properties can affect cell performance and must influence the design of new polymeric electrolytes to make them competitive as battery materials. 

We first consider the localized photoelectrodeposition of metals onto semiconductor surfaces (3i )(32). In almost every case the precursor to a metal In a plating bath is a positive ion, so that the deposit is formed by reduction. Thus, a p-type semiconductor is required for positive photoelectrochemical imaging. If the deposition is done in an electrochemical cell configuration, the semiconductor electrode should...

The electrochemical cell for the polarographic measurements had a four-electrode configuration equipped with a microsyringe, and was connected to a computer-assisted data-acquisition system [7]. On the other hand, the cyclic voltammetric measurements that are also assisted by a computer data-acquisition system were carried out using a gel electrode that contains the aqueous phase [8]. The cell structure was as follows ...
