ABSTRACT

Zen philosophy is loosely applied to electrochemical cells used in surface finishing. The importance of considering the overall cell in a balanced, holistic fashion, rather than one reaction at a single electrode, is stressed. The electrochemical cell has six essential components, namely, a cathode, an anode, the electrolyte, the external electrical circuit, a cathodic reactant and an anodic reactant. The importance of electrochemistry in clean processing, chemical synthesis, environmental remediation and pollution sensing is considered. It remains important to adopt a broad perspective to electrodeposition processes and integrate technological progress and sustainability in the light of recent environmental restrictions and regulations.

摘要

Zen哲学被宽松地应用于表面处理中使用的电化学电池。强调了以平衡，整体的方式考虑整个电池的重要性，而不是在单个电极上进行一个反应。电化学电池具有六个基本成分，即阴极，阳极，电解质，外部电路，阴极反应物和阳极反应物。考虑了电化学在清洁工艺，化学合成，环境修复和污染感测中的重要性。鉴于最近的环境限制和法规，采用广阔的视野进行电沉积工艺并整合技术进步和可持续性仍然很重要。
