Borek said:Ions do travel through the membrane. However, you usually design the system in such a way that traveling ions are those that will not react directly.
The purpose of this research is to understand the role of diaphragms in chemical reactions as they can act as barriers for charged particles to pass through. This can provide insights into improving the efficiency of chemical reactions and developing new technologies.
Diaphragms can either facilitate or hinder the movement of charged particles in chemical reactions depending on their properties such as thickness, material composition, and surface charge. They can also influence the direction and speed of the charged particles.
Some common experimental methods include electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, potentiometry, and cyclic voltammetry. These techniques involve measuring the electrical properties of the diaphragms and the movement of charged particles through them.
By understanding how diaphragms affect the movement of charged particles, we can improve the design of batteries, fuel cells, and other electrochemical systems. This research can also lead to advancements in water purification, wastewater treatment, and other environmental applications.
Future research in this field could focus on developing new types of diaphragms with enhanced charge-carrying capabilities, as well as studying their performance in different chemical environments. Additionally, the development of computational models to predict the behavior of diaphragms could also be a promising area of research.
