polarization caused by the resistance to the flow of ions in the electrolyte (3.34) and of electrons in the electrodes (3.33), bipolar plates (3.9), and current collectors (3.26)
Note 1 to entry: The term ohmic refers to the fact that the voltage drop follows Ohm’s Law, i.e. it is proportional to the current with an ohmic resistance (called internal resistance (3.66) of the cell) as the proportionality constant. |
