Investigation of the Effect of Hydrophilicity on Oxygen Reduction Reaction Property with Measurement of Water Vapor Specific Surface Area

For oxygen reduction reaction of an air battery which uses oxygen and water as reactants, it is important to control not only gas diffusivity but also hydrophilicity. In this study, the effect of hydrophilicity was investigated quantitatively. Various hydrophilic reaction layers were prepared with d...
