Magnetoelectrochemistry
Encyclopedia
Magnetoelectrochemistry is a branch of electrochemistry dealing with magnetic effects in electrochemistry.
There have been observations on the existence of Hall effect
in electrolytes. Until these observations the magnetoelectrochemistry was a esoteric curiosity.
This field has had a rapid development in the past years and is an active area of research. Other scientific fields which contributed to the development of magnetoelectrochemistry are magnetohydrodynamics and convective diffusion theory.
History
These effects have been supposed to exist since the time of Michael Faraday.There have been observations on the existence of Hall effect
Hall effect
The Hall effect is the production of a voltage difference across an electrical conductor, transverse to an electric current in the conductor and a magnetic field perpendicular to the current...

Effects of magnetic field
There are three types of magnetic effects in electrochemistry:- on electrolytes
- on mass transfer
- on metal deposition
