Unleash Your Electrochemical Expertise

Electrochemistry is the branch of science that deals with the conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy.

An electrochemical cell is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy through a chemical reaction.

The two compartments in an electrochemical cell are the cathode and the anode.
