Electrochemical Methods for Determining Kinetic Properties of Solids

Electrical methods offer advantages for the determination of kinetic and thermodynamic quantities because of the transducer properties of fast ionic conductors. Further applications of such techniques depend upon an increased familiarity with them, and upon the availability of chemically compatible electrodes and suitable electrolytes for specific species in the temperature range of interest. Progress is being made in the search for new solid electrolytes for a variety of both cationic and anionic species. Various electrochemical techniques available for kinetic studies of solids have been compiled and tabulated. 153 references, 17 figures, 3 tables.
