Study Notes
Electrochemistry
- Branch of physical chemistry that deals with the relationship between electrical potential difference and identifiable chemical change
- Involves reactions where electrons move via an electronically-conducting phase, typically an external electrical circuit
Electrochemical Reactions
- Driven by an electrical potential difference, as in electrolysis
- Result from a chemical reaction, as in an electric battery or fuel cell
- Electrons are not transferred directly between atoms, ions, or molecules, but via an electronically-conducting circuit
Key Reaction Components
- Electrodes: separated by an ionically conducting and electronically insulating electrolyte (or ionic species in a solution)
- Electronically-conducting phase: allows electrons to move between electrodes
- Ionically conducting and electronically insulating electrolyte: separates electrodes and enables ionic conduction
