Theory What is rust? Rust is the common name of a compound‚ iron oxide. Iron oxide‚ the chemical Fe2O3‚ is common because iron combines very readily with oxygen -- so readily‚ in fact‚ that pure iron is only rarely found in nature. Iron (or steel) rusting is an example of corrosion -- an electrochemical process involving an anode (a piece of metal that readily gives up electrons)‚ an electrolyte (a liquid that helps electrons move) and a cathode (a piece of metal that readily accepts electrons)

If you are looking for instructions about building a lemon battery to light an LED‚ see Lemon Battery at Wikibooks. The lemon battery is a simple type of electrical battery that is commonly made for school science projects because it illustrates a battery’s main components. Typically‚ a piece of zinc metal and a piece of copper metal are inserted into a lemon. Everyday objects such as galvanized nails and copper pennies can be used for the zinc and for the copper. A single lemon is usually studied

Cyclic voltammograms for 50 moldm-3 catechol were recorded with plain GCE‚ PEDOT-GO‚ PEDOT-rGO and PEDOT-rGO incorporated with LAC at pH 7.0 and scan rate 50 mVs-1 Fig. 4.3.4. Fig 4.3.4A present CVs and the anodic peak current observes for dopamine are bare small redox peak was observed. The modification of PEDOT-GO and PEDOT-rGO were increase in increase in the redox reak compared with bare electrode. The incorporation of LAC on the PEDOT-rGO gives decrease in the oxidation and increase in the

2.2 Peltier Thermoelectric cooler (TEC) Peltier thermoelectric heat pump is a popular thermoelectric energy conversion module that applies the Peltier effect‚ transferring heat energy from one side of the device to the other side. Peltier effect occurs when two different semiconductor materials (n-type and p-type) are joined together with electric current passing through its junction. Therefore‚ the junction could either be cooled or heated [28]. The Peltier TEC device can behave like a temperature

Introduction and Hypothesis: Rust is a reddish or yellowish-brown flaky coating of iron oxide that is formed on iron or steel by oxidation‚ especially in the presence of moisture. The rusting process is electrochemical‚ meaning it forms from a chemical reaction which takes place in a solution where there is an electron transfer between the electrode and the electrolyte or species in solution. In the case of rusting‚ the transfer of electrons from iron to oxygen begins the electrochemical process

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION A. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM This study aims to find out how long a lemon (Citrus limon) can last as a lemon battery powering a digital clock. B. HYPOTHESIS The researcher assumes that one lemon would last for a day or two and that the usage of more lemons would entail a longer battery time. C. OBJECTIVES Specifically‚ it aims to: 1) come up with a quantity-longevity ratio with the use of a varied quantity of lemons in the production of a lemon battery 2) find
