A MODEL OF THE ELECTROCATALYTIC LAYER WITH SOLID POLYMERIC ELECTROLYTE

A model of the electrocatalytic layer based on dispersion of particles in a solid polymeric electrolyte, taking into account the probability nature of contact between electrocatalyst particles, is elaborated. U sing the Monte Carlo method, percolation theory, and elaborated progra ms of machine computation, dependences of the distribution of flowing particles across the layer on the shape and size of particles are obta ined. The values of the characteristic length of the process and the m aximum working surface of the electrocatalyst are computed. The comput ed data are shown to be in good agreement with the experimental data
