The Chemistry of the Planté and Faure Accumulators

Abstract

PART I.—Local Action AMONG the important discoveries of late years, few have claimed so much attention, or have been so full of promise for practical use, as the accumulator of Planté and its modifications. Our attention was very naturally directed to the chemical changes that take place in these batteries, especially as it appeared to us that there must be certain analogies between them and some actions which we had previously investigated. In the present communication we propose to treat merely of one point-that of local action, leaving the fuller discussion of the subject to some future occasion.
