“…Electrode overpotentials were evaluated by a current interrupt method as follows. 24) The electric potentials of the anode and cathode against the reference electrode, V AR ( j) and V RC ( j), were measured as a functions of the current density, j. The overpotentials, defined as the changes in the potentials from those under open circuit condition, consist of electrode reaction polarization, © AR and © RC , overpotentials due to the changes in hydrogen concentrations were ignored because of the hydrogen partial pressure constant in the measurement, ohmic losses, iR AR and iR RC , are shown in eqs.…”
