Proton Diffusion In Nickel Hydroxide Films: Measurement Of The Diffusion Coefficient As A Function Of State Of Charge, Sathya Motupally, Christopher C. Streinz, John W. Weidner

Faculty Publications

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to measure the solid-state diffusion coefficient of protons in nickel hydroxide films at room temperature as a function of state of charge (SOC). A model for the complex faradaic impedance of the nickel hydroxide active material is presented and used to extract the diffusion coefficient of protons from the EIS data. Impedance data over a range of frequencies can be used to extract a constant diffusion coefficient without the knowledge of the initial mobile proton concentration or the form of the charge-transfer kinetic expression. The proton diffusion coefficient is a strong function of SOC …


Electrochemical Determination Of The Diffusion Coefficient Of Hydrogen Through An Lani4.25Al0.75 Electrode In Alkaline Aqueous Solution, G. Zheng, Branko N. Popov, Ralph E. White Jan 1995

Electrochemical Determination Of The Diffusion Coefficient Of Hydrogen Through An Lani4.25Al0.75 Electrode In Alkaline Aqueous Solution, G. Zheng, Branko N. Popov, Ralph E. White

Faculty Publications

The constant potential and constant current discharge techniques were used to determine the hydrogen diffusion coefficients in an LaNi4.25Al0.75 electrode. The values obtained were 2.97 × 10–11 and 3.30 × 10–11 cm2/s, respectively. The advantages and disadvantages of these two techniques are discussed.
