An Electrochemical Wind Velocity Sensor

Electrochemical interfaces invariably generate unipolar electromotive force because of the unidirectional nature of electrochemical double layers. Herein we show an unprecedented generation of a time varying bipolar electric field between identical half-cell electrodes induced by tailored interfacial migration of magnetic particles. The periodic oscillation of a bipolar electric field is monotonically correlated with velocity-dependent torque, opening new electrochemical pathways targeting velocity monitoring systems
