The content explains how ion-exchange membranes control chemical reactions within electrolytic cells, how to make DIY membranes from resin beads, and how to build a simple iron-sulfate flow battery using graphite electrodes and DIY graphite felt. A closed-loop iron refining process and a membrane-enhanced hydrogen generator are also demonstrated. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
