Other Types of Liquid Cells

Cells of the Nernst and Haber type constitute two extreme cases of Hquid cells with a reversible interface of immiscible electrolyte solutions. Intermediate cases are, however, common e.g. in analytical appUcations, ion-selective systems with non-ideal (lower than 100%) selectivity are used. 

Cells with liquid polarizable interfaces that are vital to kinetic studies, as well as voltaic cells, will be discussed in Sects. 4 and 5. 

In modern investigations of the electrochemical properties of immiscible electrolyte solutions mixed cells are used, i.e. cells containing one interface, e.g. that under investigation - Nernstian or polarizable, and a second reference interface of the Haber type (Sect. 3.3). 

Liquid cells are largely analogous to the cells containing molten salts or metals. Possibly it was the research in the area of those liquid cells that later inspired further investigations of cells with liquid metallic membranes, or molten bridges [4]. The main works to be noted here were performed by Lemke [94] and Hohnberg [95] and they dealt both with concentration systems and chemical ones.
