Abstract
This work demonstrates the feasibility of measuring electrochemical reaction rates on common flow-through porous electrodes by traditional Tafel analysis. A customized microfluidic channel electrode was designed and demonstrated by measuring the intrinsic kinetics of the \V2\ +/V3 + and \VO2\ +/VO2+ redox reactions in carbon paper electrodes under forced electrolyte flow. The exchange current density of the \V2\ +/V3 + reaction was found to be nearly two orders of magnitude slower than the \VO2\ +/VO2+ reaction, indicating that this may be the limiting reaction in vanadium redox flow batteries. The forced convection in this technique is found to generate reproducible exchange current densities which are consistently higher than for conventional electrochemical methods due to improved mass transport.
