Electrochemical Storage
Electrochemistry is the production of electricity through chemicals. Electrochemical storage refers to the storing of electrochemical energy for later use. This energy storage is used to view high density and power density. The energy in the storage can be used over a long period.
Where is Electrochemical Storage?
- Mobiles
- Computers
- Music players
- Electric vehicles
- Wind-based electricity generation
Examples of Electrochemical Storage
Some Examples of Electrochemical Storage include,
Battery
It consists of a cathode (positive terminal) and anode (negative terminal). Used in portable electronics and automobiles. There are various forms of battery, for example, lithium-ion, lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, etc. Some flow batteries included liquid electrolyte solutions, for example, iron-chromium, zinc-bromine, and vanadium redox.
Application of Battery
Some of the common examples application of batteries include,
- Invertors
- Micro-grids
- Integrated Sensors
Supercapacitor
They are also known as ultracapacitors or electric double-layer capacitors. They come in the category of electrochemical capacitors that lack normal solid dielectrics. These supercapacitors fill the void between the regular capacitor and the rechargeable battery. They have a high energy density of all capacitors. Its charge or discharge cycle is shorter as compared to other capacitors.
Application of Supercapacitor
Some examples of the application of Supercapacitor includes,
- Static random-access memory backup (SRAM)
- Elevators
- Cranes
- Buses
- Trains
- Automobiles
Energy Storage
Energy storage can be defined as the process in which we store the energy that was produced all at once. This process helps in maintaining the balance of the supply and demand of energy. Energy storage can also be defined as the process of transforming energy that is difficult to store into a form that can be kept affordably for later use. These storages can be of any type according to the shelf-life of energy which means some storages can store energy for a short time and some can for a long time. There are various examples of energy storage including a battery, flywheel, solar panels, etc.
