George H. Davy

George H. Davy was a prominent Scottish chemist in the early 19th century, best known for his work on electrolysis and electrochemistry. He collaborated with Michael Faraday and contributed to understanding how electric currents can cause chemical changes, such as decomposing compounds into elements. Davy’s research helped lay the foundation for modern electrochemical science and the development of instruments like the voltaic pile, an early battery. His work advanced scientific knowledge about chemical reactions driven by electricity, influencing technological progress in chemistry and electrical engineering.
