Abstract
Standard Peltier entropies for the reactions in molten carbonate paste electrolytes at 1000°K have been determined fromthermogalvanic measurements. The results are –217 and –118 J/mole°K,respectively. No dependence on electrolyte composition is observed. The reversiblepart of the Peltier entropy for the oxygen electrode reaction is estimatedfrom thermodynamic data and reasonable agreement with the experimentalresults is found. It is concluded that the main contribution to the Peltierentropy arises from the transition from gaseous to liquid state, whereas thetransfer entropies of the ionic species are of minor importance.
