Electrochemical Cells and Processes

Devices and techniques that tie chemical change to electric current, including the fuel cell, which converts the chemical energy of a fuel and an oxidizing agent directly into electricity, and electrolysis, which uses direct current to drive a reaction that would not happen by itself. An invention belongs here when the cited article describes it as an electrochemical cell or an electric current driven chemical process. It excludes ordinary batteries, which belong with the materials of energy storage.
