伏打电堆工作原理争论的发展及启示

Development and Enlightenment of the Debate on the Nature of Volta Pile

针对伏打电堆中产生的电是源于2种不同金属的相互接触还是源于化学反应这一问题,科学家们分别提出了"接触说"和"化学说"2种理论,2种理论经过近半个世纪的争论至融合。通过对这段化学史的回顾,结合现代理论,有利于深入理解电化学主题及其相关核心概念。

In response to the question of whether the electricity generated in the voltaic pile originates from the contact between two different metals or from chemical reactions, scientists have respectively put forward two theories of "contact theory" and "chemical theory". After nearly half a century of debate, the two theories have merged. The review of this chemical history, combined with modern theories, is conducive to an in-depth understanding of electrochemical themes and related core concepts.
