Abstract

This Chapter provides the basis for approaching the world of electrochemical generators. An electrochemical cell is a device capable of either generating electrical energy from chemical reactions or facilitating chemical reactions through the introduction of electrical energy. In the first paragraph, it is explained the working principles of a cell. After that, a glossary that outlines the technical terms and the unit of measurement required for a scientific study of electrochemical generators is embedded. The Chapter ends with an overview of the principal typology of secondary batteries exploited nowadays.
