Normalisation intermediate

Fig. 6.31 Normalised intermediate scattering function from C-phycocyanin (CPC) obtained by spin-echo [335] compared to a full MD simulation (solid line) exhibiting a good quantitative matching. In contrast the MD results from simplified treatments as from protein without solvent (long dash-short dash /me), with point-like residues (Cpt-atoms) (dashed line) or coarse grained harmonic model (dash-dotted line) show similar slopes but deviate in particular in terms of the amplitude of initial decay. The latter deviation are (partly) explained by the employed technique of Fourier transformation. (Reprinted with permission from [348]. Copyright 2002 Elsevier)...

It follows from the above discussion that the effect of a chemical follow-up reaction in which the primary intermediate R is consumed is that the current ratio, — z x/z fed> is smaller than the no-reaction-value, 0.2929. The faster the reaction of R, the smaller the ratio, and in the limit where R reacts so rapidly that the oxidation back to O cannot be observed, the ratio is, of course, zero. It is convenient to normalise the current ratio by the no-reaction-value by introduction of the parameter Ri defined in Equation 6.34 clearly, Ri may vary from 1 (no reaction) to 0 (complete reaction).

The same was found to be true for the species involved in DISPl or ECE processes [61]. Figure 10 compares the quantities g(j, K) and g(j) as a function of j for the intermediate formed in the (first-order) chemical step (rate constant k) of an ECE process (see Sect. 4.1), with normalised rate constant K 1.0, where...

Fig. 3A shows the normalised change with time of the O-H/O-D and C-H/C-D band intensities, obtained from the series of intermediate spectra (around 300) recorded during the 5 min transient experiment. A clear delay is observed between the C-H/C-D and the O-H/O-D transient curves. 

The helium leakage value was tested on the half cells in the oxidized state before the coating of cathode. Helium is suitable to be used as the test gas because its molecular is smaller than all the gases under the operation condition of SOFC cells. The helium flowed through the half cell at a pressure difference of 1000 hPa. The shown values in this test were normalised to the measurement area and to a pressure difference of 100 hPa, which was typical for an SOFC stack. One large squared area of 16cm was measured per cell. The leak rate value of samples without polymeric sol-gel layers was around 5-10" (hPa dmV(s cm ). By applying a polymeric sol-gel layer on top of the colloidal-sol-derived intermediate layers, the leak rate value of samples was improved to 1.5-10 (hPa dm ( s cm ). 

For the simulation of the cyclic voltammograms, an equilibrium constant K = 0.01 has been selected so that only a small amount of the intermediate B is present in the bulk solution. Thus, with fast scan rates, when little time for conversion of A to B is available, the voltammetric response associated with reduction of the small concentration of B is essentially hidden in the background. Only normalisation using the peak current shows the presence of the small voltammetric signal. The step-shaped characteristic of the oxidation response at high scan rates can be attributed to the potential independent rate constant kf = 2000 s limiting the rate. With sufficiently slow scan rate, the cyclic voltammogram becomes reversible, as expected for the case of a very fast pre-equilibrium. In this case, only the shift of the...

Clearly the majority of the electro-catalysts explored in Table 16.2 lend themselves to fuel cell applications. A key parameter to the success of the electrocatalytic sensing of ammonia involves the design of the catalyst. That is, a surface which gives rises to a large active surface area which also stabilises active intermediates and is of a composition to induce changes in the activation energy. The performance of the electro-catalyst is characterised by the mass activity (MA activity mass ) which is the current density (at a specific potential) normalised by the mass of the electro-catalyst which is related to the specific electrochemically active area (SSA area mass ) and the specific activity (SA activity area ) which is the current density normahsed by the electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) of the electro-catalyst. As such, the mass activity is the key parameter given by ...
