A rechargeable electrochemical
system is disclosed that operates using ultra-pure water and a preconditioned
electrode without added salts, acids, bases, or catalysts. The
electrode is infused with reactive
hydrogen species, such as atomic
hydrogen, through methods including
electrolysis, thermal
exposure, or ambient-compatible
water jet impact. Upon immersion in ultra-pure water and
pairing with a second
electrode, the infused electrode induces a spontaneous
electrochemical potential. The water, initially non-conductive, becomes weakly alkaline and functions as an
electrolyte. The
system generates measurable
voltage and current under ambient conditions.
After discharge, the infused electrode can be restored by reapplying the
hydrogen-infusion process or an external potential, enabling repeated charge-
discharge cycles.
Experimental validation shows consistent electrochemical behavior and
power output sufficient for common electronic components. This
system offers a scalable, environmentally compatible alternative to conventional batteries and hydrogen energy systems, enabling novel electrochemical operation under benign conditions and opening pathways in low-energy nuclear processes.
