Overview
Electrochemical cells are devices that convert chemical energy into electrical energy, or electrical energy into chemical change, through oxidation-reduction reactions. A typical cell contains two electrodes, an anode where oxidation occurs and a cathode where reduction occurs, immersed in an electrolyte that allows ions to move between them; electrons released at the anode travel through an external circuit to the cathode, producing an electric current. Electrochemical cells underpin batteries, fuel cells, sensors, and many industrial processes, and they are also central to studying corrosion and energy conversion. Within the broad scope of New Developments in Chemistry, electrochemical cells connect to materials, catalysis, and corrosion studies. Research in this area includes the investigation of electrode materials such as nitrogen-doped graphene for the oxygen reduction reaction, a key process in energy-conversion devices, and studies of corrosion and its inhibition in metals, which involve the same electrochemical principles of oxidation and reduction. Such work reflects how electrochemical processes inform the design of energy materials and the protection of metals. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to electrochemical cells and the chemistry of electron transfer.
