Overview: The emf method as a source of experimental thermodynamic data

Thermodynamic stability of Ca3TeO6 determined by a solid electrolyte EMF method

“…Such high input impedance enables to conduct the EMF measurements in an open circuit and to provide the cell functioning reversibly [18]. Two identical, 0.25 mm in diameter Pt lead wires (Table 1) were connected to the electrometer.…”

Electromotive Force Measurements and Thermodynamic Modelling of Sodium Chloride in Aqueous-Alcohol Solvents

“…The choice of the method is determined by the specific properties of the studied objects, and purposes which are put for the researcher. EMF method and its application for thermodynamic studies of metallic and ceramic systems has been recently discussed in detail by Ipser et al (Ipser et al, 2010). The use of this technique in the thermodynamics of electrolyte solutions is described in many books and articles.…”

An Overview of Advanced Chalcogenide Thermo- electric Materials and Their Applications

“…Incongruent melting of some phases, low thermal stability, kinetic hindrances to polymorphic phase transformations and change of the regions of stabilities of some phases with increasing temperature complicate the selection criteria to confirm the attainment of the equilibrium state. These experimental difficulties can partially be solved through theoretical calculations of the Т vs. х phase diagrams using, for example, the CALPHAD methods [35] . Thermodynamic properties of some recently characterized multicomponent superionic compounds are published in [36][37][38] .…”
