Davy was chemically preparing Potassium and Sodium through an electrical current, and this made Gay-Lussac and Thénard envious of his success. They too decided to perform the same task, but they had no battery at their disposal as Davy had, so they had to form another way to chemically prepare the two elements. In 1808, they used a red-hot iron fused to potash, the water-soluble form of a manufactured salt containing potassium, to perform this task, a method that Davy admitted had its advantageous qualities. Gay-Lussac and Thénard were successful in preparing Potassium, and continued to make a full analysis of its chemical properties, and began to use it for their own experiments. In 1809, Davy performed the same task, using it to reduce Boron in Boracic acid.""‎

On announcing his discovery he says, that he will publish a paper discribing the experiments with the gas, later. This is the paper offered here, also in the first German version. Both the announcement and the paper were issued in the ""Annalen"" the same year as they appeared in Nicholson's Journal.The gas was first synthesized by English natural philosopher and chemist Joseph Priestley in 1772, who called it phlogisticated nitrous air.""Following Priestley's discovery, Humphry Davy of the Pneumatic Institute in Bristol, England, experimented with the physiological properties of the gas, such as its effects upon respiration. He even administered the gas to visitors to the institute, and after watching the amusing effects on people who inhaled it, coined the term 'laughing gas'! Davy even noted the anaesthetic effects of the gas: ""As nitrous oxide in its extensive operation appears capable of destroying physical pain, it may probably be used with advantage during surgical operations in which no great effusion of blood takes place"".(Wikipedia).""Davy discovered the anaesthetic properties of nitrous oxide and suggested its use during surgiical operations, a suggestion which was not turned to useful account until 1844.""(Garrison & Morton, 5646, not mentioning the announcing of its discovery in 1799).‎

The first electrolysis by means of the pile was carried out in 1800 by Nicholson and Carisle, who obtained oxygen and hydrogen from water. Davy began to examine the chemical effects of electricity in 1800, and his numerous discoveries were presented in his Bakerian lectures."" Another paper printed together with Davy's paper: John Pond: ""Catalogue of North Pole Distances of Eighty-four principal fixed Stars, deduced from Observations made with the Mural Circle at the Royal Observatory."", pp. 280-304.‎
