Electrochemistry involves the transformation of chemicals into electricity, fuels and other useful products. The interest in electrochemical technologies has increased significantly in recent years and for good reason – many electrochemical processes can achieve high efficiency and high energy density. GCEP researchers are developing several types of clean electrochemical conversion technologies for a broad range of uses, from automobile batteries to grid-scale energy storage to advanced fuel cell systems.
