About this book

In this collection of interrelated essays, the authors review landmark developments in electrochemistry building on biographic material and personal insight. The book facilitates understanding of the innate pathways of developments in electrochemical science as a result of lucky circumstances fitting to objective conditions. Thus the book will help to understand the present state of electrochemistry and offer inspiration for solving today’s scientific challenges. The authors as experienced electrochemists from the U.S., Western and Eastern Europe also provide guidance for scientific careers by presenting biographical examples of famous electrochemists.

Reviews

“This book attempts to recover this ‘lost world’ in the field of electrochemistry through the contributions of different authors who present to the reader a summary of the work of researchers in Eastern Europe in the century of the divided world. … The book provides extensive and documented information on the development of electrochemistry in Eastern Europe during the twentieth century … . this book built a new bridge—in space and time—between these two worlds.” (Antonio Doménech-Carbó, Journal of Solid State Electrochemistry, Vol. 20, 2016)
