Who was the inventor of the first electrochemical cells?

The first electrochemical cell was invented by Alessandro Volta in 1800. He created the Voltaic Pile, which was a stack of alternating discs of copper and zinc separated by cardboard soaked in salt water, producing a continuous electric current.


The anode in an electrochemical cell has this charge?

The Anode in electrochemical cell has negative charge (-ve).


What is a voltiac cell?

A voltaic cell is also called a Galvanic Cell. It is an electrochemical cell, but unlike other electrochemical cells it uses spontaneous redox reactions to create electricity.


What are Electrochemical fuel cells?

Lots of things have an electrochemical cell in them. That electrochemical cell is a battery. You cell phone has at least two of them. There is a small one that "keeps alive" memory if you remove the primary battery. A flashlight has a cell or cells in it. We could go on all day. Motor vehicles have a battery, which is a collection of electrochemical cells. Note that a battery could be composed of a single cell, like the "AAA", "AA", "C" and "D" cells. We call them batteries, but they are a single electrochemical cell. A 9-volt battery, on the other hand, has several cells in it stacked in series so their voltages add. That car battery we mentioned is 6 electrochemical cells "long" so that the voltages will sum to the 12 volts (which is actually a bit over 13 volts).


Where do the electrons enter an electrochemical cell?

Electrons enter an electrochemical cell through the anode. The anode is where oxidation occurs, leading to the release of electrons that flow through the external circuit to the cathode.

Where was the first battery created?

The first electrochemical cell was developed by the Italian physicist Alessandro Volta in 1792, and in 1800 he invented the first "battery" which is the correct term for a number of cells. An AA "battery" is actually a "cell". When you put 2 AA cells into something (walkman for instance) it is caled a battery.
