Elucidation of Charge-Transfer Reaction Kinetics in Zirconia Electrolyte Cells

本研究旨在阐明电化学机理。电化学电池用于生产特殊的化学物质，作为分析仪来测量特定物质的浓度，并产生电能。了解这些细胞内发生的电荷转移反应的性质有助于设计新的细胞系统，以满足未来的特殊需求。这将包括用于检测目前难以检测到的微量化学物质的传感器。已经设计了一系列的实验，这将有助于澄清氧化锆细胞中的动力学。

This research aims to clarify electrochemical mechanisms. Electrochemical cells are used to produce special chemicals as analyzers to measure the concentration of particular species, and to generate electrical energy. Understanding the nature of the charge-transfer reactions which occur within these cells aids in the design of new cell systems to meet specialty needs of the future. This would include sensors for trace amounts of chemicals now difficult to detect. A series of experiments has been designed which will do much to clarify the kinetics in zirconia cells.
