Sverjensky (2001) showed that the values for capacitance Ci obtained for a wide variety of oxides and electrolyte types within the framework of the triple layer model (Sahai and Sverjensky, 1997a) fell into two groups. For rutile, anatase, and magnetite, values of Ci increased with decreasing crystallographic radius of the electrolyte cation from Cs+ to Li+. For quartz, amorphous silica, goethite, hematite, and alumina, values of Ci increased with decreasing hydrated electrolyte cation radius from Li+ to Cs+.

When using a solid hydrated electrolyte, such an electrode component will be advantageously hydrated too for instance, a neutral or weakly acidic compound (XY, nH20) in which M" can be anodically inserted while ions are extracted towards the electrolyte. The overall anodic...

Although electrode gels are needed for good skin contact, hydrating electrolytes produce another source of electric potential, known as a skin diffusion potential, in addition to the skin battery. This diffusion potential arises because skin membranes are semipermeable to ions. The magnitude of this skin potential varies as a function of the salt composition in the electrolyte.

Cobali in) fluoride, C0F3. Brown powder (C0F3 plus F2) also forms a green hydrate by electrolytic oxidation. C0F3 is widely used in the fluorinalion of organic derivatives. Gives complexes e.g. MjCoFg. 

These can be prepared by electrolytic oxidation of chlorates(V) or by neutralisation of the acid with metals. Many chlorates(VII) are very soluble in water and indeed barium and magnesium chlorates-(VII) form hydrates of such low vapour pressure that they can be used as desiccants. The chlorate(VII) ion shows the least tendency of any negative ion to behave as a ligand, i.e. to form complexes with cations, and hence solutions of chlorates (VII) are used when it is desired to avoid complex formation in solution. 

These are acids which can be regarded, in respect of their formulae (but not their properties) as hydrates of the hypothetical diiodine heptoxide, liO-j. The acid commonly called periodic acid , I2O7. 5H2O, is written HglO (since the acid is pentabasic) and should strictly be called hexaoxoiodic(VII) acid. It is a weak acid and its salts are hydrolysed in solution. It can be prepared by electrolytic oxidation of iodic(V) acid at low temperatures ... 

Hydrated cobalt III) sulphate, Co2(S04)3. JSHjO is obtained when cobalt(II) sulphate is oxidised electrolytically in moderately concentrated sulphuric acid solution it is stable when dry but liberates oxygen from water. Some alums, for example KCo(S04)2.12H,0 can be obtained by crystallisation from sulphuric acid solutions. In these and the sulphate, the cation [CofHjO) ] may exist it is both acidic and strongly oxidising. 

In some cases, particularly with iaactive metals, electrolytic cells are the primary method of manufacture of the fluoroborate solution. The manufacture of Sn, Pb, Cu, and Ni fluoroborates by electrolytic dissolution (87,88) is patented. A typical cell for continous production consists of a polyethylene-lined tank with tin anodes at the bottom and a mercury pool (ia a porous basket) cathode near the top (88). Pluoroboric acid is added to the cell and electrolysis is begun. As tin fluoroborate is generated, differences ia specific gravity cause the product to layer at the bottom of the cell. When the desired concentration is reached ia this layer, the heavy solution is drawn from the bottom and fresh HBP is added to the top of the cell continuously. The direct reaction of tin with HBP is slow but can be accelerated by passiag air or oxygen through the solution (89). The stannic fluoroborate is reduced by reaction with mossy tin under an iaert atmosphere. In earlier procedures, HBP reacted with hydrated stannous oxide. 

Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell. The electrolyte in a PEFC is an ion-exchange (qv) membrane, a fluorinated sulfonic acid polymer, which is a proton conductor (see Membrane technology). The only Hquid present in this fuel cell is the product water thus corrosion problems are minimal. Water management in the membrane is critical for efficient performance. The fuel cell must operate under conditions where the by-product water does not evaporate faster than it is produced because the membrane must be hydrated to maintain acceptable proton conductivity. Because of the limitation on the operating temperature, usually less than 120°C, H2-rich gas having Htde or no (

Niobic Acid. Niobic acid, Nb20 XH2O, includes all hydrated forms of niobium pentoxide, where the degree of hydration depends on the method of preparation, age, etc. It is a white insoluble precipitate formed by acid hydrolysis of niobates that are prepared by alkaH pyrosulfate, carbonate, or hydroxide fusion base hydrolysis of niobium fluoride solutions or aqueous hydrolysis of chlorides or bromides. When it is formed in the presence of tannin, a volurninous red complex forms. Freshly precipitated niobic acid usually is coUoidal and is peptized by water washing, thus it is difficult to free from traces of electrolyte. Its properties vary with age and reactivity is noticeably diminished on standing for even a few days. It is soluble in concentrated hydrochloric and sulfuric acids but is reprecipitated on dilution and boiling and can be complexed when it is freshly made with oxaHc or tartaric acid. It is soluble in hydrofluoric acid of any concentration.
