The problem of current distribution at an electrode of linear geometry having a significant ohmic resistance is examined for conditions where the ohmic potential drop along the electrode material is of the same order of magnitude as the metal–solution potential difference. This problem is of practical significance in primary and secondary cells at high current drains and in certain types of fuel cell electrodes. The current distribution and metal–solution potential profiles are calculated as limiting cases of a general theory. The true and apparent current–potential relations are compared theoretically.

ABSTRACTCorrosion of thin film structures commonly used in electronic and magnetic devices is discussed. Typical failure modes are presented, and galvanic corrosion is discussed in some detail since it is one common problem with such devices. A graphical explanation for the determination of the ohmic potential drop during galvanic corrosion is presented. The corrosion problem of thin film disks is shown to have changed during the past ten years owing to changes in disk structure. The corrosion susceptibility of two antiferromagnetic alloys used for exchange coupling to soft magnetic layers is discussed.

The kinetics of electrochemical lithium ion intercalation into Li[Li0.2Co0.3Mn0.5]O2 electrode in 2 M Li2SO4 aqueous electrolyte has been studied using two electroanalytical methods, namely, potentiostatic intermittent titration technique (PITT) and galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT). The results are compared with those from nonaqueous electrolytes. Layered, lithium-rich Li[Li0.2Co0.3Mn0.5]O2 cathode material was synthesized by reactions under autogenic pressure at elevated temperature (RAPET) method. The effects of ohmic potential drop and charge-transfer resistance have been considered while predicting the current transients obtained with aqueous electrolyte. For PITT and GITT, we have defined their characteristic time-invariant functions, It1/2 and dE/dt1/2, respectively to present the diffusion time constant τ. Application of different theoretical diffusion models for treating the results obtained by the above-mentioned techniques allowed us to calculate the diffusion coefficient of lithium ions (D) at different potentials (E). The intercalation process is explained by considering the possible attractive interactions of the intercalated species in terms of Frumkin intercalation isotherm. We have observed a strictcorrespondence between the peaks of the intercalation capacitance and the minima in the corresponding log D vs. E curve.

The Uranium and Titanium corrosion rates are described by a Tafel’s relationship, and the cathodic protection of Uranium is a function of a Wagner number. A numerical simulation of galvanic corrosion of Uranium surface under thin layer electrolyte is presented. The model considered that the effect of a circular defect and oxygen reduction and corrosion in the Uranium surface, the effect of electrolyte thickness and conductivity and defect radius on corrosion current distribution of Uranium with is investigated. The results shows that the corrosion rate at the center is non-uniform, and it could lead to the formation of a hemispherical-shaped pit. And the effect of radius is to increase the importance of the electrode kinetics relative to ohmic resistance, and to increase the potential difference between the center and edge of the Uranium surface, resulting in non-uniform corrosion current distribution.

Purpose Crack sensor based on RFID tag has become a research hotspot in the field of metal structural health monitoring for its significant benefit of passive wireless transmission. While in practice, crack location will impact the performance of crack depth-sensing tag. The purpose of this paper is to provide a method for reducing disturbance of crack location on crack depth-sensing tag. Design/methodology/approach The effect analysis of crack location on crack depth-sensing tag is presented first to find disturbance reason and disturbance law. On the basis of that, a miniaturized tag is proposed to improve the current distribution and reduce the disturbance introduced by crack location. Findings The degree of crack location disturbance is closely related to the current distribution in the coverage area of tag. Because sensing tag performs better when crack locates in the high current density area, miniaturization of sensing tag is exploited to expand the high current density area and make the area more symmetrical. The simulated and experimental results demonstrate that tag miniaturization can enhance the performance of crack depth-sensing tag. Originality/value This paper provides a method to enhance the performance of crack depth-sensing tag.
