From Chemical Gardens to Fuel Cells: Generation of Electrical Potential and Current Across Self‐Assembling Iron Mineral Membranes
Abstract
We examine the electrochemical gradients that form across chemical garden membranes and investigate how self‐assembling, out‐of‐equilibrium inorganic precipitates—mimicking in some ways those generated in far‐from‐equilibrium natural systems—can generate electrochemical energy. Measurements of electrical potential and current were made across membranes precipitated both by injection and solution interface methods in iron‐sulfide and iron‐hydroxide reaction systems. The battery‐like nature of chemical gardens was demonstrated by linking multiple experiments in series which produced sufficient electrical energy to light an external light‐emitting diode (LED). This work paves the way for determining relevant properties of geological precipitates that may have played a role in hydrothermal redox chemistry at the origin of life, and materials applications that utilize the electrochemical properties of self‐organizing chemical systems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
