Fundamentals of Electrochemistry and Battery Basics

A basic battery has three main parts:

  • Anode: This is the negative electrode. It's where oxidation occurs, meaning it loses electrons and sends them out to your device.
  • Cathode: This is the positive electrode. It's where reduction occurs, meaning it gains electrons coming back from your device.
  • Electrolyte: This is a chemical medium (often liquid or gel) that allows ions (charged atoms) to move between the anode and cathode, completing the internal circuit. Crucially, the electrolyte doesn't allow electrons to flow directly through it; they have to go through the external circuit.
