The Variation of Electrochemical Cell Potentials with Temperature

Electrochemical cell potentials have no simple relationship with temperature but depend on the interplay between the sign and magnitude of the isothermal temperature coefficient, dE°/dT, and on the magnitude of the reaction quotient, Q. The variations in possible responses of standard and non-standard cell potentials to changes in the temperature, topics that are not discussed in any current textbook, are described.
