Magnetoelectrochemistry is a branch of electrochemistry dealing with magnetic effects in electrochemistry.
History
editThese effects have been supposed to exist since the time of Michael Faraday. There have been observations on the existence of Hall effect in electrolytes. Until these observations the magnetoelectrochemistry was a esoteric curiosity. This field has had a rapid development and is an active area of research. Other scientific fields which contributed to the development of magnetoelectrochemistry are magnetohydrodynamics and convective diffusion theory.
Effects of magnetic field
editThere are three types of magnetic effects in electrochemistry:
- on electrolytes
- on mass transfer
- on metal deposition
