Core Concepts
Redox Reactions
Redox reactions describe the transfer of electrons between chemical species through oxidation and reduction processes. They form the fundamental mechanism behind energy conversion, sensing, and environmental transformations in electrochemical systems.
Electrochemical Systems
Electrochemical systems convert redox reactions into usable electrical signals or energy by separating oxidation and reduction at distinct electrodes. They include both spontaneous systems (fuel cells, MFCs) and driven systems (electrolysis, electrochemical reactors).
Materials for Redox Systems
Materials play a critical role in redox systems by governing electron transfer, mass transport, and interfacial reactions. Carbon-based and bio-based materials such as biochar and graphene enable efficient, robust, and sustainable electrochemical technologies.
