The analysis of electrolyte water by using electrolysis cell and Galvani cell as electrical power storage

Abstract

Any power generated by renewable electricity sources must be used immediately or it will be wasted. In this research, battery cell test will be carried out using the Galvani cell theory and electrolysis cell approach. Salt (NaCl) is an ingredient that can easily found. Salt itself is an ionic compound consisting of positive ions and negative ions to form neutral compounds, formed from the acidic reactions obtained from sodium and bases that are obtained from chlorine. Salt water is an element that is easy to electrolyze even though it uses a small current input. Salt water can also collect electricity in certain periods. This study discusses the use of salt or NaCl (Sodium Chloride) which will be combined with copper electrodes (Cu), carbon (C) and also aluminium (Al) as a storage of power generated from renewable energy sources. Based on the experimental analysis, combination of electrode that is the most linear in producing voltage and current are C and Zn.
