What was a key challenge Volta overcame in his research?

A key challenge Alessandro Volta faced was in demonstrating the reliability of chemical processes in generating electricity, as opposed to the prevailing belief in "animal electricity." By successfully creating the voltaic pile, he was able to provide concrete evidence of chemical electricity generation, which helped to refine contemporary understanding and correct misconceptions about electricity's origins.
