Ahatract-To optimize the performance of porous cathodes on Molten-Carbonate Fuel Cells it is important to know the relative contributions of all polarization processes. In this paper the technique of ac Impedance is applied to study the phenomena of the cathodes which are made of NiO or LiCoO,. Both

β¦ Synopsis
In applying ac impedance to fuel cells and their porous (gas diffusion) electrodes the emphasis lies on different fuel cell components, and their properties, according to the fuel cell type . The focus has been directed at the electrode/electrolyte interface in MCFC and PAFC, whereas in SOFC and PEMFC the ionic/electronic conductivity of the electrolyte or the characteristics of its composite with the electrocatalyst is of primary interest . The limitations of ac impedance in fuel cell application are in part due to difficulties of interpretation and in part due to experimental difficulties because of the generally fast electrode reaction kinetics . Further research directions are indicated.

The kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction at the La O,slSr,,,,MnO,/ZrO,-Y,O, electrode has been studied by ac impedance spectroscopy. The results show that there are three time constants present in the system, each one corresponding to a rate limiting step of the total reaction mechanism. The ti
