electrochemistry
Voltage meets molecules
Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry dealing with the relationship between electrical and chemical phenomena—how chemical reactions produce electricity and how electricity drives chemical reactions.
Batteries, fuel cells, and electrolysis are electrochemical processes.
The electrochemistry of corrosion, electrochemistry lab.
