An objection against the notion of Pollack battery
The model of Pollack battery (see this) is now rather concrete. In the simplest situation the opposite electrodes could correspond to carbon nanotubes with modifications =C → -(C-OH) and =C→ -(C=O) respectively.
The model is very general. What is essential is that one has lattice type structure in =X- type units are replaced with -(X-OH)- and -(X=O)- type units for the two electrodes. For instance, carbon nanotubes could be replaced with silicon nanotubes (SiNT), which indeed do exist. Silicon nanotubes, the tubes are not smooth but wrinkled: this would increase the capacity to load charge.
Charging would take place by Pollack effect kicking protons to monopole flux tubes by the process -OH→ -O-+ dark proton at monopole flux tube. The charging voltage would provide energy and the process could occur by tunnelling. The electrolyte would be a hydrophilic polymer acting as a catalyst for Pollack effect and possibly also as a storage of chemical energy generated in charging. During use O- ions would provide electrons serving as charge carriers of Ohmic current running the load.
The objection against the proposal is that the energy difference between states -C-(C=O)-C + e- and -(C-O-)-C is large and of wrong sign so that e- is tightly bound to -(C-O-)-C and Ohmic current cannot be generated. I am not a chemist but I am able to use Google, which answers as follows.
“The energy difference between a neutral carbonyl group plus a free electron C-(C=O)-C + e- and the resulting radical anion -C-(C-O-C- is characterized by the electron affinity (EA) of the carbonyl compound. For simple aliphatic ketones like acetone, the energy difference is approximately in the range 0.0 to -0.5 eV. This indicates that the formation of the radical anion is typically isothermic or slightly endothermic in the gas phase.”
This would suggest that the liberation of e- to become a carrier of ohmic current does not require energy or occurs even spontaneously and is made possible so that the electric field of the battery generates ohmic current.
See the article Are Pollack batteries possible? and the chapter with the same title.
