electrode

In January 2019, researchers at Johns Hopkins University implanted electrodes in the brain of Robert “Buz” Chmielewski.

Thin tendrils laced with hundreds or thousands of electrodes will spread out in the brain to listen in on — and perhaps even stimulate — nerve cells.

Using an electrode and a computer, the team could then monitor for these currents.

Their technology replaces the graphite electrode in lithium-ion batteries with one made of semiconductor nanoparticles.

What’s more, the new electrolyte doesn’t degrade the battery’s electrodes, which helps the battery last longer.

It will take some time for any cupric ions actually to reach the electrode and be deposited as metallic copper.

On the anode side, purple permanganate ions are seen rising toward the positive electrode.

The hydrogen electrode is connected with the negative post of the voltmeter, the oxygen electrode with the positive post.

For the purposes of this book it will be sufficient to limit our discussion to the behavior of an ideal oxygen electrode.

The gas is easily conducted to the platinum gauze electrode through such a tube.
