Electrochemical Systems in Energy Conversion and Storage

Abstract

One of the old definitions of electrochemistry says that electrochemistry is the science of converting chemical energy into electrical energy and electrical energy into chemical energy. To-day this definition covers only a part of the problems of electrochemistry and is not all-embracing. But it correctly reflects the fact that for nearly 200 years electrochemical processes of energy conversion have been playing an exceptional role in science and technology.
