The ac impedance studies for porous MnO2 cathode by means of modified transmission line model
نویسنده
چکیده
A simplified 5-RC transmission line equivalent circuit was introduced. Manganese dioxide cathodes from three commercial primary alkaline cells were investigated by means of ac impedance technique. Cathode Ohmic resistance, Faraday resistance for the reduction of MnO2, proton diffusion rate inside the lattice of EMD and electrochemical accessible surface area were obtained by numerical fitting of impedance data using the simplified transmission line model. The kinetics for cathode surface accessibility was also studied. # 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

The study of the proton diffusion process in the porous MnO2 electrode
The proton diffusion coefficients in an electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD) electrode at various stages of the constant current discharge have been determined by means of AC impedance technique. The finite diffusion model was applied in the numerical fitting. The crystallite size of EMD was estimated from (1 1 0), (1 2 1) and (0 2 1) diffraction peaks with both Scherrer equation and Warren–Ave...
