Study Notes
Fuel Cells and Rechargeable Batteries
- Fuel cells and rechargeable batteries are energy sources.
- A fuel cell type uses a proton exchange membrane and aqueous methanol.
Fuel Cell Electrodes
- Negative electrode (anode): CH₃OH(aq) + H₂O(l) → CO₂(g) + 6H⁺(aq) + 6e⁻
- Positive electrode (cathode): O₂(g) + 4H⁺(aq) + 4e⁻ → 2H₂O(l)
Fuel Cell Advantages
- Produces continuous electricity with more raw materials added.
- Does not need recharging.
- Less hazardous if broken/exposed to the environment.
- Weighs less for the same energy output.
- Has higher energy density/specific energy than a lead-acid battery.
Fuel Cell Disadvantages
- More expensive,
- Needs a constant supply of fuel,
- Methanol/ethanol fuel cells are difficult to use in cold weather.
- Produce carbon dioxide.
- Storage/transport of gases/hydrogen is a problem in hydrogen fuel cells.
- Does not produce high current.
- Potentially explosive/hydrogen is flammable.
Chlorophyll
- Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight due to highly conjugated systems.
- Containing many alternating single and double bonds.
- Having many delocalized electrons.
Photosynthesis
- 6CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(l) → C₆H₁₂O₆(aq) + 6O₂(g)
Lithium-ion Battery
- Lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable.
- Offer advantages of lower mass for equal atoms, lower mass per transferred electron, and higher voltage.
- Lithium cobalt oxide and graphite are common electrodes.
Methane Combustion
- CH₄(g) + 2O₂(g) → CO₂(g) + 2H₂O(l)
Methane Specific Energy
- 55.5 kJ g⁻¹
Photosynthesis and Biological Compounds
- Photosynthesis creates carbohydrates from biological compounds (e.g., plants converting light into energy).
- Decays of organic matter can create hydrocarbons including methane.
Global Warming
- Global temperatures and CO₂ concentrations have increased over time in correlation with industrial emissions.
- Greenhouse gases capture heat from the sun, trapping it in the atmosphere.
Methane vs. Gasoline
- Methane has a lower environmental impact than gasoline due to producing less greenhouse gases during combustion.
- Weighing less and having a higher energy density, methane is a cleaner (less polluting) fuel.
