Abstract

Electron transport in mixed conductor redox electrolyte membranes: anion/electron charge carriers, and cation/electron charge carriers are analyzed by irreversible thermodynamic methods appropriate to electrolyte transport. The generalized force for electron transport is the gradient of the Fermi level of electrons in electrolyte phases. The generalized force for ion transport is the gradient of the ionic electrochemical potential. New results include current-time, current-voltage, small amplitude and DC bias impedance functions.
