Electrochemical Energy

 

Electrochemical Energy:

Electrochemical Energy refers to the energy stored in or produced by chemical reactions involving the movement of electrons. It is a type of energy conversion where chemical energy is transformed into electrical energy, or vice versa, through redox (reduction-oxidation) reactions.

Key Concepts:

  1. Electrochemical Cell: A device that generates electricity through chemical reactions.

    • Galvanic (Voltaic) Cells: Convert chemical energy into electrical energy. Example: Batteries.

    • Electrolytic Cells: Use electrical energy to drive chemical reactions. Example: Electroplating.

  2. Redox Reaction:

    • Oxidation: Loss of electrons.

    • Reduction: Gain of electrons.

    • These reactions occur at electrodes in electrochemical cells.

  3. Components of an Electrochemical Cell:

    • Anode: Electrode where oxidation occurs.

    • Cathode: Electrode where reduction occurs.

    • Electrolyte: Ionic medium that allows the flow of charge.

    • Salt Bridge: Maintains electrical neutrality by allowing ion exchange.

  4. Applications:

    • Batteries: Power portable devices, vehicles (like electric cars), etc.

    • Fuel Cells: Convert hydrogen and oxygen into water and electricity.

    • Electrolysis: Splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen gases.

  5. Advantages:

    • Clean energy conversion.

    • High efficiency.

    • Reversible processes in rechargeable batteries.

Examples:

  • Lithium-ion batteries in smartphones and electric vehicles.

  • Hydrogen fuel cells for clean transportation.

  • Lead-acid batteries in vehicles.
