  2. Electrochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemistry

    When a chemical reaction is driven by an electrical potential difference, as in electrolysis, or if a potential difference results from a chemical reaction as in an electric battery or fuel cell, it is called an electrochemical reaction. Unlike in other chemical reactions, in electrochemical reactions electrons are not transferred directly ...

  3. Electrochemical reaction mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_reaction...

    In electrochemistry, an electrochemical reaction mechanism is the step-by-step sequence of elementary steps, involving at least one outer-sphere electron transfer, by which an overall electrochemical reaction occurs. [1] [2]

  4. Electrochemical cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_cell

    An electrochemical cell is a device that generates electrical energy from chemical reactions. Electrical energy can also be applied to these cells to cause chemical reactions to occur. [ 1 ] Electrochemical cells that generate an electric current are called voltaic or galvanic cells and those that generate chemical reactions, via electrolysis ...

  5. Electrochemical potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_potential

    In electrochemistry, the electrochemical potential of electrons (or any other species) is the total potential, including both the (internal, nonelectrical) chemical potential and the electric potential, and is by definition constant across a device in equilibrium, whereas the chemical potential of electrons is equal to the electrochemical ...

  6. Electrosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrosynthesis

    A variation is called the non-Kolbe reaction when a heteroatom (nitrogen or oxygen) is present at the α-position. The intermediate oxonium ion is trapped by a nucleophile, usually solvent. Anodic electrosynthesis oxidize primary aliphatic amine to nitrile.

  7. Solid oxide fuel cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_oxide_fuel_cell

    Each reaction has a certain activation barrier that must be overcome in order to proceed and this barrier leads to the polarization. The activation barrier is the result of many complex electrochemical reaction steps where typically the rate limiting step is responsible for the polarization.

  8. Electrocatalyst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocatalyst

    An electrocatalyst is a catalyst that participates in electrochemical reactions. Electrocatalysts are a specific form of catalysts that function at electrode surfaces or, most commonly, may be the electrode surface itself. An electrocatalyst can be heterogeneous such as a platinized electrode. [1]

  9. Electrochemical kinetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_kinetics

    Electrochemical kinetics is the field of electrochemistry that studies the rate of electrochemical processes. This includes the study of how process conditions, such as concentration and electric potential, influence the rate of oxidation and reduction reactions that occur at the surface of an electrode, as well as an investigation into electrochemical reaction mechanisms.
