I. The effects of temperature on the electromotive force and resistance of batteries

William Henry Preece · Proceedings of the Royal Society of London · 1883

Abstract It is well known that heat influences the conditions of galvanic elements so as to vary the strength of the currents generated by them in those parts of the circuits connecting their poles. In 1840 De la Rive found that the action of a galvanic pair was accelerated when it was put into hot fluid instead of cold fluid, and he attributed the result to increased chemical affinity
