Applications of electrochemistry (Battery And Charging devices)

Electrochemistry has numerous applications in the field of batteries and charging devices. Here are some key applications: 1. Rechargeable Batteries: Electrochemistry plays a crucial role in rechargeable batteries, which are widely used in portable electronic devices, electric vehicles, and renewable energy storage. Rechargeable batteries, such as lithium-ion batteries, utilize reversible electrochemical reactions to store and release electrical energy. During charging, a current is applied to drive the electrochemical reaction that stores energy, and during discharge, the stored energy is released as electrical power. 2. Lead-Acid Batteries: Lead-acid batteries are widely used in automotive applications, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and other stationary power backup systems. These batteries rely on electrochemical reactions involving lead and lead dioxide electrodes immersed in a sulfuric acid electrolyte. When the battery is discharged, the lead and lead dioxide electrodes u...
