    Electrochemical energy is energy that is converted between electrical and chemical forms. It is produced through electrochemical cells like primary cells that cannot be recharged or secondary cells that are rechargeable batteries. Primary cells include alkaline, carbon-zinc, zinc chloride, mercury, and silver oxide cells while secondary cells include rechargeable electric cells that use a reversible chemical reaction like fuel cells and batteries. Electrochemical cells have advantages like efficiency and use of renewable fuels but also disadvantages such as cost, lower energy density than primary cells, lack of standards, and expensive/dangerous storage and transport.

    ELECTROCHEMIC

    AL ENERGY
    • The Electrochemical energy is defined as “the
    energy which converts electrical energy to
    chemical energy and vice versa.” The
    electrochemical energy is related to fuel cells,
    photo electrochemical, and energy storage
    systems such as batteries, super capacitors or
    ultra-capacitors.
    HOW IS ELECTROCHEMICAL
    ENERGY IS PRODUCED?
    PRIMARY CELLS

    • CANNOT BE RECHARGED
    • CHEMICAL PROCESS NOT
    REVERSABLE.
    TYPES OF PRIMARY CELLS
    • Alkaline cells
    • Carbon-zinc cells
    • Zinc chloride cells
    • Mercury cells
    • Silver oxide cells
    SECONDARY CELLS
    • A rechargeable electric cell that converts chemical
    energy into electrical energy by a reversible chemical
    reaction. Also called storage cell.
    • EXAMPLES:
    • Electric cell, cell - a device that delivers an electric
    current as the result of a chemical reaction
    • Storage battery, accumulator - a voltaic battery that
    stores electric charge
    ADVANTAGES AND
    DISADVANTAGES
    ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
    • Electrochemical cells are • Cost of charger. Safety issues
    generally much more with mains power.
    efficient than a conventional • Lower energy density than
    combustion engine. primary cells unless exotic
    • Some renewable fuels can be chemistries used.
    used, such as methanol • Lack of standards
    generated from fermentation. • Expensive to store/transport
    • Fuel cells generate less CO2 safely as it is extremely
    than conventional explosive.
    combustion engines. No • More energy might be used in
    chance of incomplete the generation of the
    combustion, which is the hydrogen than is saved by
    cause of harmful pollutants using it.
    such as Carbon Monoxide.
