Mass transport and active area of porous Pt/Ti electrodes for the Zn-Ce redox flow battery determined from limiting current measurements
Mass transport and active area of porous Pt/Ti electrodes for the Zn-Ce redox flow battery determined from limiting current measurements
The conversion of soluble cerium redox species in the zinc-cerium redox flow battery and other electrochemical processes can be carried out at planar and porous platinised titanium electrodes. The active area, current density, mass transfer coefficient and linear electrolyte flow velocity through these structures have a direct influence on the reaction yield and the relationship between cell potential and operational current density during charge and discharge of a flow battery. A quantitative and practical characterization of the reaction environment at these electrodes is required. The volumetric mass transfer coefficient, kmAekmAe has been calculated for diverse electrode structures from limiting current measurements for Ce(IV) ion reduction in a laboratory, rectangular channel flow cell. This factor can be used to predict fractional conversion and required electrode dimensions. Platinised titanium felt shows superior kmAekmAe values compared to other materials and is a practical, high performance electrode for the Ce(III)/Ce(IV) ion redox reaction.

Abstract
The conversion of soluble cerium redox species in the zinc-cerium redox flow battery and other electrochemical processes can be carried out at planar and porous platinised titanium electrodes. The active area, current density, mass transfer coefficient and linear electrolyte flow velocity through these structures have a direct influence on the reaction yield and the relationship between cell potential and operational current density during charge and discharge of a flow battery. A quantitative and practical characterization of the reaction environment at these electrodes is required. The volumetric mass transfer coefficient, kmAekmAe has been calculated for diverse electrode structures from limiting current measurements for Ce(IV) ion reduction in a laboratory, rectangular channel flow cell. This factor can be used to predict fractional conversion and required electrode dimensions. Platinised titanium felt shows superior kmAekmAe values compared to other materials and is a practical, high performance electrode for the Ce(III)/Ce(IV) ion redox reaction.
