Differential Electrochemical Mass Spectrometry (DEMS) is an analytical method that is a combination of mass spectrometry and electrochemical half-cell experimentation. It is used in continuous faradaic reactions to identify products or intermediates and for...
Electrolysis is gaining momentum as an option for carbon-free hydrogen production from both nuclear and renewable sources. Electrolysis works by harnessing electricity to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen inside a unit called an electrolyzer. This article will...
CO2 reduction is a critical part of the research into sustainable fuels. The time-dependent depletion of CO2 using a suitable cathode material as a function of current density is an area of interest for researchers. Half cells are then employed to...
The Basics of Li-Ion Batteries There are three components of a lithium-ion battery: the cathode, the anode, and the electrolyte. Cathodes are usually the most expensive and heaviest element of the battery meaning that cathode studies are high priority. The cathode is...
The Beginning of the Lithium Battery For many years, the only suitable battery for portable equipment, such as mobile computing and wireless communications, was nickel-cadmium. Pioneer work on the lithium battery began in 1912. However, it wasn’t until the 1970s when...
What is a Fuel Cell? Fuel cells generate electricity through an electrochemical reaction rather than combustion. Inside a fuel cell, hydrogen and oxygen are combined to generate heat, water and electricity. They represent a clean, efficient, dependable, and quiet...
