Ym. Volfkovich et Vs. Bagotzky, THE METHOD OF STANDARD POROSIMETRY .2. INVESTIGATION OF THE FORMATIONOF POROUS STRUCTURES, Journal of power sources, 48(3), 1994, pp. 339-348
The results obtained by applying the method of standard porosimetry fo
r investigation of different processes in batteries and other electroc
hemical devices are discussed. The following processes were investigat
ed: swelling and ion exchange of polymeric materials (membranes, condu
cting polymers); pressing of powdered materials (PVC, Raney silver); t
he influence of pore-forming agents; chemical and electrochemical sint
ering of platinum catalysts; deposition of solid products in the pore
volume of the cathode during reduction of SOCl2 in lithium batteries;
structural changes during formation and cycling of lead and silver oxi
de electrodes, etc.
