Electrolytes are substances that dissociate into ions in solution and are essential for various physiological processes in the body, such as muscle function, nerve function, and hydration. Research in the field of electrolytes focuses on understanding their role in maintaining proper balance and function within the body, as well as investigating potential therapies or treatments for electrolyte imbalances or disorders. This research area also explores the relationship between electrolyte levels and various health conditions, such as dehydration, kidney disease, and heart failure. Additionally, researchers study the development of electrolyte-based technologies, such as batteries and fuel cells, for various applications in energy storage and conversion.
