Abstract

At the beginning of the nineteenth century, electrochemistry became an established part of the science of chemistry. Volta believed in the existence of some definite relationship between chemical and electrical phenomena and his investigations led to the discovery of a means of converting chemical energy to electrical energy. His observations became the foundation upon which all modern electrochemistry is based. Volta alternated zinc and silver disks with paper soaked in salt water between each disk. This afforded a source of electrical energy which produced a current and became to be known as the Voltaic-pile.
