要旨

This paper presents an enhanced model for the impedance of porous film electrodes. The impedance of a transmission line with two transport channels, a crosswise element and arbitrary terminal loads is solved analytically. The local impedances at the boundaries represent a frequency-dependent response of the blocking of ionic and electronic charge carriers at the two faces of the electrode region. A general expression is found that contains, as particular cases, a number of models of impedance for porous electrodes used in the literature. Some examples of the generalised transmission line illustrate the use of the model in the interpretation of experimental data. First, a polarisable electrode showing low-frequency dispersion of the constant phase element (CPE) type is analysed, and diagnosis criteria are derived to recognise whether the dispersion is caused by the boundary or the inner surface. Secondly, the manifestation in the impedance of the failure of a porous electrode due to direct charge transfer between the substrate and a redox couple in solution is investigated.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
