electrochemical processes
Electrochemical processes involve reactions where chemicals exchange electrons, creating electrical energy or using electricity to change materials. In batteries, chemical reactions produce electrons that flow through circuits, powering devices. Conversely, in electrolysis, electrical energy drives chemical changes, such as splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. These processes rely on the movement of electrons between substances, enabling energy conversion in a controlled way. They are fundamental to many technologies, from powering electronics to manufacturing materials, combining chemistry and electricity for practical applications.
