Anode

The anode is connected to the positive terminal of the supply, and the cathode (article to be plated) is connected to the negative terminal. When the external power supply is switched on, the metal at the anode is oxidized from the zero valence state to form cations with a positive charge. These cations associate with the anions in the solution. The cations

hydrogen (H2) production from organic matter, including wastewater and other renewable resources. In MECs, electrochemically active bacteria oxidize organic matter and generate CO2, electrons and protons. The bacteria transfer the electrons to the anode and the protons are released into the solution. The electrons then travel through a wire to a cathode and combine with the free protons in the solution to produce hydrogen gas (Logan et al., 2008). The consumption of protons at the cathode chamber

three parts are: The anode (the negative part of the battery), the cathode (the positive part of the battery), and the middle part of a battery, the electrolyte [a chemical compound, which allows the flow of electric charge between the positive (cathode) and the negative (anode) part of the battery]. For example when an electric circuit is connected to the battery, a chemical reaction occurs on the electrodes. Because of that chemical reaction, which is inside the battery, the anode builds up a surplus

One type of FCs is microbial fuel cell (MFC) that uses an active microorganism as a biocatalyst in an anaerobic anode compartment for production of bioelectricity. Although electrical current produced by bacteria was observed by Potter in 1911, more useful functions were developed during the next 50 years. finally, in the first of 1990s, MFC known as a promising

Anode: The electrode in an electrolytic cell where electrons shift from the electrolyte to the battery. Cathode: The electrode in an electrolytic cell where electrons shift from the battery to the electrolyte. Electrolyte: Any substance that, when mixed into water, conducts an electric current. Electrolytic cell: A system where electrical energy is used to make chemical changes. Electroplating: A process that uses an electrolytic cell to put a thin layer of metal on a kind of surface. Ion: An atom

energy and energy density with open cell air cathode structure [3–6]. With these devices, however, the electrochemical energy could be stored in the stationary part as form of sacrificial metal anode. This distinct architecture would make a limitation approach for large-scale commercialization unless the anode can provide good electrochemical reversibility and high cyclic durability. As a feasible alternative to continuous operation, recently, a high temperature liquid metal-air energy storage cell

The current costs that are associated with Water treatment are astronomical in most cases it can be on the order of billions of dollars, INTRODUCTION The present has brought many benefits like new technologies. But along with benefits, the present also brought consequences. One consequence would be the pollution in the atmosphere and environment. Scientists have come up with many alternative energy methods like wind power, solar power, and tidal power. Along with those sources of energy comes a form

robust synergies between the anode respiration and photo-electrocatalysis of ORR in the cathode (Figure 7). In this new design which known as solar microbial photo-electrochemical cell (MPC), the electron–hole pairs are liberated upon illumination of semi-conductor electrocatalyst. After that, the generated charges (holes and electrons pairs) are moved into the catalytically active site for electrocatalytic reactions, meanwhile electrons are delivered from the anode to combine with holes or directly

events accompanied by ion beam emission and x-ray radiation. Fig.1. (a), and (b) show the top view and side view of the plasma focus device respectively. Three coaxial electrodes are insulated by two Pyrex tubes from each other. The inner electrode or anode is made from a copper rod of a= 5 mm in radius and it is connected to the capacitor bank through a spark gap switch. The middle floating electrode is a thin cylindrical copper tube located at radius of and b=15 mm. The outer electrode that is connected
