There are many such devices, but the simplest one is a battery. In a battery, a chemical reaction involving the electrolyte (battery fluid) carries ions (charged particles) from one terminal to the other. This flow of charge produces an electric current.
For example, in a lead-acid battery (Example: A car battery) on the anode (+), lead sulfate reacts with water to form sulfuric acid and lead oxide, while liberating two electrons. These electrons travel through the electric circuit. On the cathode (-), the lead sulfate absorbs the electrons and creates elemental lead and sulfuric acid.

What is the difference between Electrons, Protons and neutrons, As previous, positive is Protons and negative is Electrons. Then what is Neutrons. Kindly update.

Battery input is dc, output dc. Than how chemical to electrical energy convert.

Battery converts chemical (ion movement) to electrical energy, then only get the direct current, using the energy or power. So, here no need of input and output concepts.
Tell here, what are they input and outputs ?

Lead acid battery, Nickel cadmium battery are the batteries which contain chemical elements like Nickel, cadmium, lead acid. So, from this itself we can understand that it converts chemical energy in to electrical energy.

Hi friends I like to share my knowledge on generator.
Generator converts the mechanical energy to electrical energy. The mechanical energy is applied on the armature by rotating the pulley. The armature generates the electrical energy with the help of magnetic flux developed in armature winding.

Solar energy, battery both will stores the energy and give it to use but please tell me that how exact chemical convertion will happen?
