4. Conclusion
In the near future, electricity, a major energy carrier, is set to play an increasingly important role in replacing other energy carriers (oil, gas). Electricity from wind and photovoltaic sources is also set to grow, to compensate for the depletion of fossil fuels. As a consequence of these energy changes, electrochemistry is also set to grow in order to continue satisfying the majority of industrial and domestic needs.
The applications discussed in this article exploit the various phenomena involved in the passage of an electric current over an electrode, whether this current is capacitive or, more often, faradic. These different applications require knowledge of and methods for accessing various characteristics: standard potentials, conductivities of solutions and ionic conductive materials, reaction kinetics, physicochemical data relating to various electrolytic...
