Electrochemical Cells:
- Primary cells (batteries): Convert chemical energy into electrical energy through irreversible electrochemical reactions. Examples: zinc-carbon, alkaline, lithium-ion batteries.
- Secondary cells (rechargeable batteries): Can be recharged by applying an external voltage, reversing the electrochemical reaction. Examples: lead-acid, nickel-cadmium, lithium-ion batteries.
Electromechanical Generators:
- Electromagnetic generators: Convert mechanical energy into electrical energy using electromagnetic induction. Example: DC generators.
- Piezoelectric generators: Convert mechanical pressure or vibrations into electrical energy. Example: piezo transducers.
Renewable Energy Sources:
- Solar cells (photovoltaic cells): Convert sunlight directly into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. Example: solar panels.
- Fuel cells: Convert the chemical energy of a fuel (e.g., hydrogen) into electrical energy through electrochemical reactions. Example: hydrogen fuel cells.
Other Methods:
- Thermocouples: Convert temperature differences into electrical energy through the Seebeck effect. Example: thermocouples used in temperature measurement.
- Triboelectric generators (TEGs): Convert mechanical contact between different materials into electrical energy. Example: TEGs used in energy harvesting from human motion.
- Direct current transfer (DCT): Involves interfacing an AC power source with a rectifier to produce direct current. This method usually requires additional filtering or regulation for smooth DC output.
