Abstract
The porous electrode problem is not new in electrochemistry. Nevertheless in the 1960s in connection with an intensive development of the fuel cell investigations, the knowledge in this field has undergone considerable transformation. Earlier, the porous electrodes were only emphasized to be systems with distributed parameters. The effective transfer coefficients were considered as constants to be determined from experiments. Three-phase systems containing both gas and liquid in a porous catalyst had not been studied yet.
