Applications of electrochemistry include batteries, fuel cells, electroplating, corrosion protection, and analytical techniques.
Corrosion is the process of deterioration of materials, usually metals, due to chemical reactions with their environment, often involving electrochemical processes.
Batteries are electrochemical devices that store and convert chemical energy into electrical energy through redox reactions.
The Nernst Equation is a mathematical formula that relates the concentration of reactants and products to the electromotive force (EMF) of an electrochemical cell.
Analytical techniques in electrochemistry involve methods such as potentiometry, voltammetry, and amperometry to analyze chemical substances based on their electrochemical properties.
Redox reactions are chemical reactions that involve the transfer of electrons between two species, resulting in changes in oxidation states.
Electroplating is a process that uses electrical current to reduce dissolved metal cations, allowing them to form a coherent metal coating on an electrode.
Electrochemical cells are devices that convert chemical energy into electrical energy or electrical energy into chemical energy through redox reactions.
Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the relationship between electrical energy and chemical reactions, particularly the conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy and vice versa.
Electrolytes are substances that dissociate into ions when dissolved in water, allowing the solution to conduct electricity.
