4 Fuel Cells 4 Overpotentials and Losses in Fuel cells η cath h < DE η anod h > fuel cell
5 Fuel Cells 5 Overpotentials Both electrode potentials change when there is current flux, but to a different extent The difference between the electrode potential at a certain current and the one at zero current (equilibrium potential) is called overpotential: η(j) = E(j) - E(j=) The overpotential is always negative at the cathode, and always positive at the anode.
6 Fuel Cells 6 Overpotentials Summary of electrochemical reactions at the positive pole: Electrolysis: O 2 + 4e H + 2 H 2 O equilibrium: O 2 + 4e H + 2 H 2 O fuel cell: O 2 + 4e H + 2 H 2 O At the positive terminal both the reduction of oxygen to water and the oxidation of water to oxygen are taking place. In the fuel cell mode the reduction process outweighs the oxidation process, in the electrolysis mode it is the other way around. In the electrochemical equilibrium both processes are taking place at the same rate, so that there is no net reaction.

12 Fuel Cells 12 Electron transfer at electrodes: 1. Diffusion of the species to where the reaction occurs (mass transfer coefficient) 2. earrangement of the ionic atmosphere (1-8 s) 3. eorientation of the solvent dipoles (1-11 s) 4. Alterations in the distances between central ion and the ligands (1-14 s) 5. Electron transfer (1-16 s) 6. elaxation in the inverse sense Charge transfer process comprises steps 2-5, and is described by a charge transfer rate constant.

14 Fuel Cells 14 The Butler-Volmer relation We consider the following one-step, one-electron process + e - j c, k j a, k ox Anodic current density (oxidation) Cathodic current density (reduction) j Fk a c j Fk c c Total current density j j j Fk c Fk c a c c () and c () are the concentrations of the electroactive species at the electrode surface (x = )
15 Fuel Cells 15 The Butler-Volmer relation (continued) Let us consider how the electrode potential affects the rate of an electron transfer reaction using expressions of the Arrhenius type: k k A A DG exp T # DG exp T # Gibbs Free Energy D + ne Activated complex at transition state G # e d DG ed eaction Coordinate

Furthermore j = and we have k = k = k. The parameter k is called the standard rate constant and plays a key role in electrode kinetics.

Then j a = -j c = j where j is called exchange current density: j nfk c * (1 ) nf( E eq E ) nf( Eeq E ) * exp nfk c exp T T

It depends on the current. - E eq is the equilibrium potential of the electrode. It depends on concentration and is given by the Nernst equation. - E is the standard potential of the electrode. It is a tabulated value. 22

36 Fuel Cells 36 Mass transport, diffusion overpotential, and diffusion limited current: Charge transfer, as described by the Butler Volmer equation, coupled with a diffusion process: Without flow of current the concentration c is constant throughout the whole electrolyte; With flow of current, at a particular overvoltage, the concentration c drops down in front of the electrode to c S. The variation in concentration extends over a distance δ N, the Nernstian diffusion layer. Thickness of δ N is determined by hydrodynamics in front of the electrode surface.
37 Fuel Cells 37 Mass transport, diffusion overpotential, and diffusion limited current: At forced convection δ N is of the order of 1-4 cm, whereas it extends in an undisturbed solution to.5 mm. Times until such stationary conditions are reached are of the order of.1 1 s and 3 6 s, respectively. According to 1. Fick s Law: (j i = - D i grad c i ) Supposed the diffusion layer δ N is constant with time, j approaches a limit, the diffusion limited current density j lim :
38 Fuel Cells 38 Mass transport, diffusion overpotential, and diffusion limited current: Diffusion overpotential can be derived from the Nernstian equation: The diffusion overpotential is then: (η d < for c > c S )
