Electrode Kinetics and Their Impact on High-Power Fuel Cell Performance

3 Electrode Kinetics and Their Impact on High-Power Fuel Cell Performance 

Electrode kinetics plays a key role in designing the most efficient electrodes for high-capacity fuel cells operating at high temperatures. Scientists and engineers 

Scientist and design engineers working on programs of empirical research must use the concepts of electrode kinetics, if meaningful evaluation and improvement of the performance of fuel cells are the principal design goals. The theory of electrode kinetics reveals that the electrons will stabilize with positive ions in the electrolyte under the equilibrium condition. Under such conditions, the distance between the electrode surface and the plane of closest approach is determined by the molecular interaction forces.
