Abstract: Based on theory described in an earlier paper (1), numerical methods for calculating the polarization of hydrophobic gas-diffusion electrodes were derived. The effects of electrochemical reactions, liquid and solid phase resistances, concentration change of dissolved reactant and their combined actions could be treated by these methods. Calculated polarization values were found to be in good accordance with measured polarizations of carbon air (oxygen) electrodes.
