Electrochemical Characteristics of Fluorocarbon Electrodes as a Function of the Type of Fluorinated Material

Electrochemical characteristics of fluorocarbon electrodes prepared from powdered (carbon black, coke), porous (cellular graphite), and textile (carbon cloth Ural-2T) fluorinated materials are studied. The major contribution to the electrode polarization is made by the diffusion constituent, which is different for different fluorocarbon materials. All the polarization constituents increase with the discharge current. A relative increase in the ohmic and diffusion constituents is greater than that in the electrochemical constituent.
