COMMISSION ON ELECTROANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY (V.5)
Number: 550/65/97
Title: Electrochemistry since Volta
Coordinator(s): S.
Rondinini, M. F.
Camoes
Remarks: I.3
Completion Date: 1999 - abandoned
Objective:
Because of the 200 Anniversary for Volta in 1999, there is the unique
opportunity to celebrate the birth of electrochemistry (that is dated
right back to the Volta's "pile"). A historical survey of the milestones
in electrochemistry, to be found both in the IUPAC recommendations and
in older documents, will be prepared. A brief preface on Volta's scientific
life will precede the main survey. The document will illustrate the
development of the general understanding of electrochemical issues over
the years. It is suggested to publish the document in PAC as an opening
article. A brief summary will be prepared for Chemistry International.
