The spontaneity of redox reactions is demonstrated using copper, zinc, and silver, and their cations. When solid zinc is placed in Cu2+ solution, the blue color of the solution becomes less intense as ...

A group of researchers in Japan has revealed, for the first time, a mechanism for controlling the potential of an electron ...

Electrochemical capacitors, also called supercapacitors, store energy using either ion adsorption (electrochemical double layer capacitors) or fast surface redox reactions (pseudo-capacitors).

This is due to the cost and energy required to start the reaction in the first place meaning it would be too expensive and use too much energy if it was started and stopped regularly. The calcium ...

Reduction is the gain of electrons by a substance. It is also the loss of oxygen from a substance. For example, copper(II) oxide can be reduced to form copper when it reacts with hydrogen: ...

A group of researchers in Japan has revealed, for the first time, a mechanism for controlling the potential of an "electron ...

The In-cell Organometallic Redox Catalysis Team have developed the catalysis of redox reactions in cancer cells by synthetic organometallic complexes. The catalysis disturbs the redox balance inside ...

Researchers from the Institute of Process Engineering (IPE) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed molecularly ...
