What are some liquids that can give up valence electrons when heated?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on identifying liquids that can donate valence electrons when heated, relevant to enhancing electricity production in the nuclear industry. The user seeks specific examples of such liquids and their counterparts that can accept these electrons. The inquiry emphasizes the need for clarity in terminology and seeks resources or articles that elaborate on this topic. The mention of "MHD 'Topping'" suggests a connection to magnetohydrodynamics, which may be integral to the proposed project.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of valence electrons and their role in chemical reactions
  • Familiarity with thermodynamics and the behavior of liquids under heat

Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a project to design a more efficient method of electricity production in the nuclear industry. I haven't been able to find anything online (and chemistry isn't exactly my strong suit most of the time), but I wanted to know if anyone knows of a liquid or liquids that, when heated, will give up valence electrons, and another liquid or liquids that will take in these free electrons when heated? I probably am not using the correct terms for certain things, so I apologize for that. If anyone knows of liquids like these or articles pertaining to this, I would greatly appreciate any input. Thank you guys!
