Abstract

Potentials and potential gradients are important in battery systems. The difference in the potentials of the two electrodes determines the voltage of electrochemical cells, being larger when they are charged, and smaller when they are discharged. On the other hand, potential gradients are the driving forces for the transport of species within electrodes.
