Consider a graph of the half cell potentials in Table 8.2 vs. the density of the electrode
Question:
Consider a graph of the half cell potentials in Table 8.2 vs. the density of the electrode metal in the half cell. Explain whether or not it is possible to design a cell that is both light and high voltage (say, more than 3 V).
Table 8.2
