Trägerionen

Trägerionen, also known as carrier ions, are ions that are present in a solution and are responsible for the electrical conductivity of the solution. They play a crucial role in various chemical and biological processes. Carrier ions can be either positively charged (cations) or negatively charged (anions). In biological systems, carrier ions such as sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), and chloride (Cl-) are essential for maintaining the proper functioning of cells and tissues. In chemistry, carrier ions are used in various applications, including electrolysis, where they facilitate the movement of electrons and ions, and in the production of batteries, where they help in the storage and release of electrical energy. The concentration and type of carrier ions in a solution can significantly affect its properties, such as its pH, conductivity, and reactivity. Understanding the behavior and properties of carrier ions is fundamental to many fields, including chemistry, biology, and materials science.
