Electrochemistry[edit]

I just made the following edit, and user "Bon courage" reverted it! This is unacceptable behavior, and I will have to take it to a higher level if he reverts this. Eric Kvaalen (talk) 10:26, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What happens at the electrodes of tDCS to convert a current carried by ions into a current carried by electrons? There has to be some sort of electrochemical reaction. I would think they would use an electrolyte that can undergo reduction to become a solid deposit on the cathode, and then have the opposite reaction going on at the anode. But what is done in practice? If one uses just sodium chloride as the electrolyte, then you would get hydrogen gas being produced at the cathode and chlorine gas at the anode! Please ping me if you answer. Eric Kvaalen (talk) 08:30, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
