ELECTROCHEMISTRY

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

• It is the branch of chemistry that deals with the relations between electrical and chemical phenomenon.

THREE TYPES OF BATTERIES

• Fuel cell- is a device that converts the chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction with oxygen or another oxidizing agent.
• Atomic- uses energy from the decay of a radioactive isotope to generate electricity.
• Bio battery- an energy storing device that is powered by organic compounds, usually being glucose, such as the glucose in human blood.

RELATION OF OXIDATION-REDUCTION TO A BATTERY

• The battery operates through electrochemical reactions called oxidation and reduction. These reactions involve the exchange of electrons between chemical species

CORROSION EFFECT ON BATTERIES

• Corrosion happens when electrolyte makes its way out to battery terminals through any leaks or joints.

ELECTROLYSIS

• Chemical decomposition produced by passing an electric current through a liquid or solution containing ions.
• improve their personal appearance
• manufacturing
