Electrochemical cell with a mechanical stirrer and stationary working electrode: An instrument for studying turbulent noise and steady-state polarization characteristics of electrode processes

The feasibility of using a closed electrochemical cell with a stirrer and a stationary working electrode for studying electrode processes is considere d. Such a study involves measuring steady-state polarization curves and spe ctral characteristics of turbulent pulsations of the current of electrochem ical reactions in a chaotically stirred solution. The design of a cell is d escribed with a working electrode whose surface is equally accessible for d iffusion. A statistical theory of a turbulent diffusion layer in electroche mical systems is verified experimentally in the stirrer-equipped cell. Some of the results are considered.
