Electrochemical Storage
Electrochemical storage involves capturing energy through chemical reactions within devices like batteries and supercapacitors. When a device charges, electrical energy is converted into chemical energy stored in materials such as lithium or other ions. During use, these chemical reactions reverse, releasing the stored energy back as electricity to power devices. This method allows for portable, efficient, and rechargeable energy storage, making it essential for everything from smartphones to electric vehicles. Essentially, electrochemical storage acts like a controlled chemical vault, storing and releasing energy in a way that's manageable and sustainable.
