iRobot announces its first non-robotic floor cleaner, the Roomba Electro Plus, which electrolyzes tap water to create a disinfectant, along with five new Roomba robot vacuums with improved suction and lower prices.
This article explains in depth that electrolysis is not simply water splitting, but two separate reactions that produce acid and alkali at the positive and negative electrodes respectively. It also demonstrates methods to make hydrochloric acid and purify metals from ore using this principle, and introduces the key role of a homemade ion exchange membrane.
