Clearly the contribution of [D.sup.[section]] to the actual diffusion coefficient [D.sup.eff] is due to the kind and strength of interaction of the charge carrier with the lattice; thus [D.sup.eff], and not the plain D, has physical valence to determine the electrical conductivity of the electrolyte during the operation conditions of the cell: the electron in the lattice is not a bare free particle, but a quasi-particle upon which depends in particular its conductivity.
