Oxygen thermo cell

The equilibrium cell voltage for the water electrolysis cell, with the overall cell reaction (IJ4), is —1.23 V and the free energy change -i-472kJmol (of oxygen). Hence, the conversion of water to hydrogen and oxygen is thermo-... 

The fist of publications [1-50] covers the period from 1958 to 1990, i.e., up to the very last years of the united Soviet Union. It includes only a small part of the publications and stiU reflects the wide variety of research on solid electrolytes at the IE US AS/IE UD AS and the journals publishing these results. There were many theoretical and experimental studies on electrochemical cells with solid electrolytes [1, 4, 5, 21, 39] and an extensive research on the phase composition of oxide ionic conductors [2] and their electric properties [3, 6, 8, 10, 13, 14, 17, 18, 20, 30, 34, 48]. Many papers were related to practical applications like sohd electrolyte degradation [33, 47] or application limits related to the electronic conductivity of the solid electrolytes [5, 30, 40, 43]. There were many publications on the implementation of different electrodes and on the kinetics of electrode processes [23,27, 31, 35, 36, 45], on investigations of the electrode overvoltage [7, 12, 25, 28], on impedance spectroscopy of solid electrolytes [19, 27], and on isotope exchange research [15,16]. The double layer and electrocapUlarity of solid electrolytes were studied in detail [9, 11, 19, 32, 44]. Systematic studies were performed on the thermo-EMF of different solid electrolytes [22,24,29], the EMF of electrochemical cells with solid electrolytes [26, 39], and the thermodynamics of oxygen in molten copper [41]. Applied research was focused on electrochemical oxygen pumps...
