Abstract
Electrochemistry is one of the technologies which can make important contributions toward solving the energy problem. A significant portion (~ 8%) of this nation’s electrical power is consumed for industrial electrolytic processes, most of which are carried out with relatively low energy efficiency. Improvements in the efficiencies of these processes will result in substantial power savings. Further, electrochemical energy conversion and storage systems using various fuel cells, batteries, and electrolysis cells offer substantial promise for stationary and vehicle applications.
