Za. Rotenberg et Eo. Zonina, THERMOIMPEDANCE OF THE REVERSIBLE ELECTRODE FE[(CN)(6)](3-) FE[(CN)(6)](4-)/, Russian journal of electrochemistry, 31(7), 1995, pp. 665-669
Thermoimpedance of the reversible system Fe[(CN)(6)](3-)/Fe[(CN)(6)](4
-) is measured in the frequency range from 0.005 to 640 Hz. Under the
conditions of equilibrium it is possible to write Z(phi)/Z(i) = -Z(e)(
-1), where Z(phi) and Z(i) are thermoimpedances at a constant potentia
l and current, respectively, and Z(e) is an electrochemical impedance.
In the region of anodic and cathodic limiting currents, thermoimpedan
ce is governed by the temperature dependence of the diffusion coeffici
ent and the thickness of the diffusion layer. The frequency spectra of
thermoimpedance and corresponding equivalent circuits are presented.
Activation energies of diffusion for anodic (20 kT mol(-1)) and cathod
ic (16 kT mol(-1)) limiting currents are evaluated.
