The paper deals with an experimental electrochemical study of mass transfer to porous nickel materials (felt, foams) in a small-scale laboratory cell functioning in a self-pumping mode. The liquid flow through a disc of the porous material is induced by the rotation of a solid circular disc. The cell is simple and is useful for laboratory studies of materials for porous electrodes and also for small-scale synthesis using such materials. The work examines separately the mass transfer to the rotating disc and to the porous disc. Empirical correlations of the experimental data are given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
