Electrochemistry

Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the interrelation of electrical and chemical phenomena. It involves the study of chemical reactions that occur in response to an electric current, as well as the generation of electricity through chemical reactions. This field encompasses various processes, including the study of electrolytes, electrolysis, galvanic cells, and the principles behind batteries and fuel cells. Electrochemistry is essential for understanding how energy can be transformed and stored and plays a crucial role in technologies such as energy production, corrosion, electroplating, and sensors.
