Weak chemical hyperstructures associated to electrochemical cells

Algebraic hyperstructures have many applications in various sciences. The main purpose of this paper is to provide a new application of weak hyperstructures in Chemistry. More precisely, we present three different examples of hyperstructures associated to electrochemical cells. In which we prove that our hyperstructures are Hv-semigroups and we present some interesting results.

Introduction to Electrochemical Cells

The purpose of this chapter is to provide the basic knowledge on batteries, which will allow for their general understanding. Therefore, after defi ning their components and structure, an overview of the quantities that characterize these storage devices will be given. Scientifi cally batteries are referred to as electrochemical or galvanic cells, due to the fact that they store electrical ener...

Lithium-based antioxidants: electrochemical properties and influence on immune cells

Introduction: Lithium salts are known as effective psychotropic medicine for treatment bipolar disorder and may be used to treat alcoholism, schizoaffective disorders, and cluster headaches. The antioxidant activity and immunomodulatory effects of prospective lithium compounds have been investigated in this work. Materials and Methods: The antioxidant properties were studied by the voltammetry...

Hydrodynamic Analysis of Electrochemical Cells

Theory of Membraneless Electrochemical Cells

A mathematical theory is presented for the charging and discharging behavior of membraneless electrochemical cells, such as flow batteries and electrolyzers, that rely on slow diffusion in laminar flow to separate the half reactions. Ion transport is described by the Nernst-Planck equations for a flowing quasineutral electrolyte with heterogeneous Butler-Volmer kinetics. Analytical approximatio...
