How to calculate faradaic efficiency electrocatalytic water spliting?

Alfred Montestruc  Follow

Hi Kc Ranjeesh,
the faradaic efficiency (or current efficiency) is defined as the ratio of the measured amount of produced hydrogen (oxygen) and the theoretical amount of produced hydrogen (oxygen) according to Faraday’s Law. It can be calculated as follows:
n = Iel / (Iel + Iloss)
where Iel is the current that participate in water splitting and Iloss for example in unwanted side reactions.

In every chemical reaction Faradaic or current efficiency could be calculated using the formula m = (M×I×t) / (N×F)
where
m is the theoretical yield (current efficiency) ;M stands for the Molar mass (weight of displaced element in grams) ;I represents the current in Amperes ;t is the time in seconds ;N is the Oxidation state (number of displaceable electrons per atom)
andF is Faraday's constant ; F=96487 Coulombs .
Hope that helps.

Can anyone please provide the exact calculation excell sheet for faradic efficiency?
I want to see what is the effect of substrate area on efficiency..

If anyone is having the sheet please provide

Is it possible to calculate Faradaic efficiency theoretically?

Very naive question. First, I would remove it from RG and then learn the basics of water electrolysis

Karim Ghaib how can we calculate the Iloss as I am guessing Iel will be determined through 2 electrode setup at 10 mA.cm-2 for overall splitting?
