Abstract

Studying electron properties of liquid water in the frame of band theory shows that obtaining its non-stoichiometric state is a simple way to vary physical and chemical properties, and changing a Reduction–Oxidation (RedOx) potential of any aqueous solution. In this connection, Fermi level in the band gap, as a measurable characteristic of non-stoichiometric liquid water, is the most convenient energy for monitoring and managing its RedOx potential. The hypo-stoichiometric state, H2O1–z, of liquid water is realized when the position of Fermi level is shifted to the bottom of conduction band. This state can be fixed by micro emulsifying gaseous hydrogen in liquid water or by electro-reducing the alkaline solution (catholyte) with possible forming alkaline (A) nanohydrides (AHH2O) n. As strong reducers, they can be quasi-stable in the aqueous solution and be an effective means for holding the negative RedOx potential of liquid water.
