informed the same society about his work related to electrolysis. The members of the society
recognized the abilities and talent that were inherent in their colleague. Because the world has
only recently learned that, thanks to Michael Faraday, there is an induction current and that an
electric current can be created from magnetism. Now contemporaries have become aware of new
discoveries – the laws of electrolysis.
Michael Faraday determined the numerical value of the electrochemical equivalents of 18 anions
and 36 cations. A number of new electrochemical terms proposed by Michael Faraday entered
the history of science and were sealed forever: electrolysis (from the Greek – decomposition
under the action of electricity), electrode (electric path), cathode (way down), anode (way up),
Ion (marching), electrolyte (substance or solution undergoing electrolysis), anion, cation,
dielectric and many others.
The unique efficiency and purposefulness of Michael Faraday amazed scientists. “He was the
greatest of those who studied electrical phenomena until our time”, admitted one of the
outstanding scientists of the XIX century. This scientist always brought the work started to the
end. The motto of his scientific work was –“work, complete and publish”. He answered the
secret of his success with the following phrase: “very simple: I studied and worked all my life,
worked and studied”. Three units of measurement have been adopted in his honor: the Faraday is
the main unit of measurement of electric power in the international system of measures; Faraday
is an off-system unit of measurement of an electrical quantity; Faraday number (magnitude) is an
electrical quantity (96510 coulombs) that releases one mole of a substance on the electrodes
when it is passed through the electrolyte.
The laws of electrolysis, the work of electric current, redox reactions occurring under the
influence of electricity, electrochemical transformations of substances and other types of
physico-chemical transformations that underlie most chemical and metallurgical technologies are
associated with the name and works of Michael Faraday. The creation and application of
electroplating cells, electroplating and electroplating, fuel cells and batteries is associated with
the laws of electrolysis and the practical application of electrical phenomena. The role and
significance of Michael Faraday's works in the life of mankind, which has reached civilization,
were appreciated by the outstanding physicist A. G. Stoletov predicted: “for all the time that has
passed since the Galilean times, the world has not seen any such amazing, diverse and amazing
discoveries coming from one head (head), and probably will not see another Michael Faraday
soon...”.
The connection and connection between electrical phenomena and chemical changes has become
the subject of study of an important section of physical chemistry – electrochemistry. He studies
the changes of molecules under the influence of electric current, and his electrochemical methods
are at the heart of industrial processes that provide the most important products needed by
humanity.
In 1836, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences B. S.Jacobithe first example of
practical application of electrochemistry on an industrial scale was the electroplating method
developed by for transferring relief copies from primary sources. In subsequent periods, practical
electrochemistry provided extensive and useful services in various sectors of the national
economy.
Electrochemical transformations are especially widely used in the metallurgical industry.
