Electron acceptor
An electron acceptor is a chemical species that receives electrons in a redox reaction, becoming reduced while another species is oxidized.
Redox potential
Redox potential describes how strongly a chemical environment tends to accept or donate electrons, shaping reactions in batteries, water, soils, sediments, and living cells.
Electrolysis
Electrolysis uses electric current to drive a chemical reaction that would not otherwise proceed on its own. It is used to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, refine metals, plate surfaces, make chemicals, and connect renewable electricity to fuels and industrial feedstocks.
