The graphite anode reaction in a fused carbonate electrolyte is
studied theoretically and experimentally. Data on open circuit cell
potentials indicate, for operation below 900°C, only a small fraction
of the free energy of reaction is converted to electrical work.
Anode polarization measurements were made for current densities
of up...
The mechanism of continuously chlorinated silver-silver
chloride electrode performance was studied by using a wiped, rotating,
partially submerged, cylindrical silver cathode. The cell
performance using a zinc anode was measured, and the rate of
chlorination of silver was calculated for several water saturated
chlorine atmospheres.
At 75°F, with a chlorine...
