CastnerKellnerin
Castner-Kellner cell is a type of electrochemical cell used primarily for the electrolysis of water and other aqueous solutions. It is named after its inventors, William Castner and Carl Kellner, who developed the cell in the 19th century. The cell consists of two electrodes, an anode and a cathode, immersed in an electrolyte solution. The anode is typically made of a noble metal such as platinum, while the cathode is made of a less noble metal such as zinc. The electrolyte solution is usually an aqueous solution of a salt, such as sodium chloride or potassium hydroxide.
The Castner-Kellner cell operates by applying an electric current to the electrodes, which causes the electrolyte
The Castner-Kellner cell has several applications, including the production of hydrogen gas for use in fuel
