  2. Electrochemical cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrochemical_cell

    A demonstration electrochemical cell setup resembling the Daniell cell. The two half-cells are linked by a salt bridge carrying ions between them. Electrons flow in the external circuit. An electrochemical cell is a device that generates electrical energy from chemical reactions.

  3. Electrochemical reaction mechanism - Wikipedia

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

    In most cases electron transfer can be assumed to be much faster than the chemical reactions. Unlike stoichiometric reactions where the steps between the starting materials and the rate limiting step dominate, in catalysis the observed reaction order is usually dominated by the steps between the catalytic resting state and the rate limiting step.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Electrosynthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrosynthesis

    The basic setup in electrosynthesis is a galvanic cell, a potentiostat and two electrodes. Typical solvent and electrolyte combinations minimizes electrical resistance . [ 5 ] Protic conditions often use alcohol-water or dioxane -water solvent mixtures with an electrolyte such as a soluble salt , acid or base .

  6. Electro-oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro-oxidation

    Simple scheme of the apparatus for electro-oxidation process. The set-up for performing an electro-oxidation treatment consists of an electrochemical cell.An external electric potential difference (aka voltage) is applied to the electrodes, resulting in the formation of reactive species, namely hydroxyl radicals, in the proximity of the electrode surface. [11]

  7. Reference electrode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_electrode

    To focus on the reaction at the working electrode, the reference electrode is standardized with constant (buffered or saturated) concentrations of each participant of the redox reaction. [1] There are many ways reference electrodes are used. The simplest is when the reference electrode is used as a half-cell to build an electrochemical cell.

  8. Solid oxide fuel cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_oxide_fuel_cell

    The activation barrier is the result of many complex electrochemical reaction steps where typically the rate limiting step is responsible for the polarization. The polarization equation shown below is found by solving the Butler–Volmer equation in the high current density regime (where the cell typically operates), and can be used to estimate ...

  9. Voltammetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltammetry

    Voltammetry is the study of current as a function of applied potential. Voltammetric methods involve electrochemical cells, and investigate the reactions occurring at electrode/electrolyte interfaces. [4] The reactivity of analytes in these half-cells is used to determine their concentration.
