17.5 Batteries and Fuel Cells
17.5 Batteries and Fuel Cells
- Any galvanic cell could be used as a battery.
- An ideal battery would never run down, produce an unchanging voltage, and be capable of withstanding environmental extremes of heat and humidity.
- The batteries have a balance between ideal characteristics and practical limitations.
- The mass of a car battery is less than 1% of the average car or light-duty truck.
- If this type of battery were used in a phone, it would provide unlimited energy, but it would not be accepted because of its mass.
- The mass of the battery, its cost, reliability, and current capacity are all taken into account when selecting a battery for a particular application.
- There are two types of batteries.
- Next, a few batteries of each type are described.
- You can learn more about batteries at this site.
- The battery is zinc-carbon.
- The zinc can can be used as both a container and a negative electrode.
- The positive electrode is made of carbon and surrounded by a paste of various substances.
- More than one reaction occurs in the reaction at the cathode.
- Regardless of the size of the battery, the same voltage is delivered.
- D, C, A, AA, andAAA batteries all have the same rating.
- Bigger batteries can deliver more electrons.
- Chapter 17 is about chemistry for extended periods.
- A zinc-carbon dry cell is shown in the diagram.
- You can learn more about zinc-carbon batteries at this site.
- They are replacements for zinc-carbon dry cells.
- These types of batteries use alkaline electrolytes.
- A zinc-carbon dry cell has about the same amount of energy as an alkaline battery.
- It is recommended that alkaline batteries be removed from devices for long-term storage.
- Most alkaline batteries are not rechargeable.
- If you attempt to charge an alkaline battery that is not rechargeable it will cause a leak of the potassium hydroxide electrolyte.
- Direct replacements for zinc-carbon batteries were designed for alkaline batteries.
- Visit the batteries.
- These are the types of batteries used in electronic devices.
- The positive and negative plates are put into the case after being rolled together.
- This design allows the NiCd cell to deliver more current than a similar-sized alkaline battery.
- A NiCd battery can be charged 1000 times.
- NiCd batteries are toxic and should never be opened or put into the regular trash.
- NiCd batteries use a "jelly-roll" design that increases the amount of current the battery can deliver as compared to a similar-sized alkaline battery.
- Information about nickel cadmium batteries can be found here.
- The battery is small.
- Lithium batteries are popular because they can provide a large amount of current, are lighter than comparable batteries of other types, produce a nearly constant voltage as they discharge, and only slowly lose their charge when stored.
- In a battery, the charge moves between the anode and the cathode.
- You can visit this about batteries.
- It can produce the high current required by starter motor.
- Lead acid batteries are heavy and have a caustic liquid electrolyte, but they are still the battery of choice because of their high current density.
- The batteries have a lot of lead.
- The low cost and high current output of the lead acid batteries make them excellent candidates for starter motor power.
- Visit this site to learn more about lead acid batteries.
- Fuel cells are similar to batteries but need a constant source of fuel.
- As long as fuel is available, they will continue to produce electricity.
- Oxygen from the air reacts with hydrogen to produce water and electricity.
- The fuel cell's efficiency is typically 40% to 60%, which is higher than the typical internal combustion engine, and the hydrogen fuel cell produces only water as exhaust.
- Fuel cells are expensive and have features that cause them to fail quickly.
- Check out the fuel cells.
