The active surface to volume ratio of the tubular arrangements previously described is approximately 1 cm2/l cm3. This parameter could be increased with corresponding increases in both volume power density and area power density. New concepts for solid state electrochemical reactors have been proposed based on more or less planar cell structures which can be integrated to make blocks.

In mathematical modeling of cross-flow solid-state electrochemical reactors, the dimension of the mathematical model increases with two additional variables compared to gas-liquid processes, since both the heat balance and the electron balance have to be considered. Introduction of an integral electron conservation balance results in an integro-differential problem. A comprehensive study of this kind was performed by Vayenas et al. [48] and by Debenedetti and Vayenas [49].

The OCM reaction can be carried out in a solid state electrochemical reactor with cogeneration of electrical energy when lwt%Sr/La203-Ag is used as the electrodecatalyst. 

Another approach to reducing fraui-acids involves electrochemical hydrogenation with a palladium catalyst in a solid-state electrolyte reactor (10) where about 50% reduction in fraui-was observed compared with nickel at iodine values of about 90.

Solid-state electrochemistry is an important and rapidly developing scientific field that integrates many aspects of classical electrochemical science and engineering, materials science, solid-state chemistry and physics, heterogeneous catalysis, and other areas of physical chemistry. This field comprises - but is not limited to - the electrochemistry of solid materials, the thermodynamics and kinetics of electrochemical reactions involving at least one solid phase, and also the transport of ions and electrons in solids and interactions between solid, liquid and/or gaseous phases, whenever these processes are essentially determined by the properties of solids and are relevant to the electrochemical reactions. The range of applications includes many types of batteries and fuel cells, a variety of sensors and analytical appliances, electrochemical pumps and compressors, ceramic membranes with ionic or mixed ionic-electronic conductivity, solid-state electrolyzers and electrocatalytic reactors, the synthesis of new materials with improved properties and corrosion protection, supercapacitors, and electrochromic and memory devices. 

One way to impart specificity is to ensure that only the component of interest is allowed into the electrochemical cell. This may be achieved by the use of a membrane which will separate the Internal components of the cell (the electrolyte and electrodes) from its working environment. Another method, which has been used in the development of solid state sensors, is to incorporate a chemical reactor into the sensor [1]. In the... 

This review puts its focus on high-throughput preparation of heterogeneous catalysts, that is, solid-state materials that are apphed in fixed-bed reactors for gas-phase reactions and in trickle-bed or stirred-tank reactors for liquid or gas-hquid reactions, respectively. Other fields of catalysis are not discussed since very different catalytic systems are used. We refer to the following reviews for homogeneous catalysis (2, 3), where combinatorial catalysis deals mainly with variation of ligands and for electrochemical catalysis [4,5], where catalysts are prepared as arrays of thin films in electrochemical cells.
