Lemons, Zinc, and Power: A Deep Dive into the Lemon Battery

Join us for a thorough look at the lemon battery—from its roots in early electrochemistry to the zinc–copper setup you can DIY. We’ll unpack redox chemistry in approachable terms, trace the reactions at the anode and cathode, and explore how different acids and metals change the voltage. We’ll also glimpse historical experiments (like Goodisman’s) and discuss how lemons show up in classrooms and pop culture.
