Abstract
Sincethe1959Heyrovsky’sNobelPrizeforpolarography,ithas been 60 years on for the Nobel Prize for Chemistry 2019 to be awarded to a team of scientists working on “pure” electrochemistry. The development of lithium-ion batteries[1]is probably the most recognizable applicative achievement of electrochemistry in the field of energy storage. Although it has huge applications in many different fields, we must admit that electrochemical techniques have been considered for a long time as a “secondary research tool”. The award of Chemistry Nobel Prize for 2019 will be, without doubts, a turning point for many electrochemists to further pursue their research even more intensively. Indeed, one expects that electrochemistry will still offer new possibilities for further development in the field of rechargeable batteries and energy storage. However, we witness in the last 50 years that electrochemistry is a highly interdisciplinary branch, finding applications in many fields of chemical industry, metallurgy, pharmacy, medicine, biochemistry, synthesis of new materials, and nano-chemistry. The major aspect of electrochemistry that distinguishes it from other branches of physical chemistry is the ubiquity of its applications. It studies not only the processes of charge (electron and ion) transfer but also important phenomena such as adsorption, phase transformation, chemical reactivity, catalysis, energy conversion, and many more.
