✦ Synopsis


The equilibrium potential of the cell Alup 1 NatiF, + A1808c,t, 1 Pt, 0, was determined from potential-decay curves to be 2.205 V at 1000°C. A Tafel plot of the anodic overvoltage. shows two straight portions with slopes RT/3F and RT/F, indicating a two-step discharge reaction of oxygen, with exchange currents of 0.017 and O-105 A/cm*. At current densities above 1 A/cm', slow desorption of adsorbed OI contributes to the overvoltage. For this reaction a liiting current of approximately 4 A/cm2 might be expected, but this phenomenon is masked by the beghming of anodic dissolution of platinum.

La courbe Tafel de surtension anodique manifeste deux troncons rectilignes de pentes RT/3F et RT/F, impliquant une reaction de d&charge de l'oxy@ne en deux temps, avec des courants d%change 0,017 et 0,105 A/cm*. Aux densites de courant supWeures is lA/cm', une faible desorption d'0, adsorb contribue a la surtension.

Pour cette reaction, un courant hmite d'environ 4A/em' serait a pr&oir, mais ce phenomene est masque par le debut de la dissolution anodique du platine. Zusammenfassung--Man ermittelte aus Abschaltkurven das Gleichgewichtspotential der Zelle Al&a&LlF8 + AlrOl~s.sr/Pt(O,) 2,205 V bei 1000°C. Die Stromspannungsbeziehung zeigt zwei zu anodische Tafelbereiche mit den Steigungen RT/3F und RT/F, auf eine zweistutige Entladungsreaktion des Sauerstoffes mit Austauschstromdichten von 0,017 und 0,105 A/cm4 hinweisend. Rei Stromdichten tlber 1 A/cm* ist ein Ueberspamumgsanteil auf die langsame Desorption von adsorbiertern Sauerstoff zurtlckzufiihren. Der Grenxstrom fti diese Reaktion ist auf ungefahr 4 A/cm* zu sch&tzen, er wird jedoch durch die beginnende anodische Autliisung des Platins tiberdeckt. THE emf of the galvanic cell l Manuscript
