Development of electrochemistry in Serbia-challenges and perspectives

In this review, the development of electrochemistry in Serbia is presented, with an accent on historical moments from the beginning up to contemporary research directions. The pioneer in the establishment of electrochemical science was Professor Panta S. Tutundzic, who was elected Assistant Professor in Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry in 1925, when the Department of Technology, previously integrated within the Technical Faculty in Belgrade, was established as a separate department. From the time of Professor Tutundzic′s group to today, a community of many eminent researchers has been involved in electrochemistry development, creating the world-renowned Belgrade School of Electrochemistry. It was not actually a formal school of electrochemistry but rather a variety of research directions, and first of all people doing excellent electrochemical science recognized at the international level. As one of the members of the contemporary active electrochemistry community from Serbia, and successors of the Belgrade School of Electrochemistry, I have both the special honor and the responsibility of presenting the historical contribution of such outstanding and internationally recognized scientists in the most appropriate way. Having in mind that any school and research area is predominantly determined by human resources, I will focus on the great contribution of the most prominent electrochemists, from the founders up to those active today. The main research directions were and still are electrodeposition, electrochemical reaction kinetics, electrocatalysis, energy production and storage, and corrosion and corrosion protection.

Challenges of electrochemistry research in Central Africa: The case of Cameroon

Electrochemistry is defined as the science which permits the transformation of matter using electricity. For many decades, this branch of chemistry has allowed substantial development in western world industries. The most emblematic example is the development of batteries, devices that find applications in almost all domains of our daily life. This review aims to focus on the state of electrochemistry in Central Africa; how electrochemistry is taught and used to improve the daily life of the population in Central Africa are the questions that we will endeavor to answer. We will scrutinize the different research groups in Central Africa having electrochemistry as their first line of research and an evaluation of their achievements so far will be performed, in addition to analyzing their societal impact.     

How molecular electrochemistry may shine light by designing electrofluorochromic compounds

Luminescence and electrochemistry have been intimately associated for a long time in the framework of electrochemiluminescence, where the electrochemical signal triggers light emission through a redox reaction. More recently another aspect of this coupling has been developed in electrofluorochromism, where electrochemistry is used to monitor photoluminescence processes. This review aims to highlight some molecular structures allowing emission properties to be tuned electrochemically through either redox-active luminophores or dyads in which a redox moiety can (de)activate the luminescence of a nearby unit. The working principle and main applications are also briefly discussed.     

Surface electrochemistry approaches for understanding and creating smooth solid-electrolyte interphase and lithiophilic interfaces for lithium metal anodes

Lithium metal anodes involve solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) and various SEI-coupled interfaces, where Li deposition/dissolution and related processes take place. Important tasks of fundamental researches are to rationally designing and creating stable SEI and related interfaces based on in-depth understanding of the formation processes and the resultant interfacial/interphase structures. These issues fall into the category of and can be studied by taking the advantages of surface electrochemistry. In this review, we summarize recent advances in constructing SEI and lithiophilic interfaces via surface electrochemistry approaches as well as atomic force microscopic characterizations of morphology and nanomechanics for achieving long-term stability of Li anodes. Further fundamental research directions on Li metal anodes are also briefly discussed.     

Electrochemistry of nanobubbles

Gas bubble formation is a common phenomenon in numerous electrochemical processes, such as water splitting, chloralkaline process, and fuel cells. Many efforts have been made to understand the behaviors of microsized or larger gas bubbles in electrochemical systems in the past few decades. It was not until recent years that the electrochemistry of nanosized gas bubbles (nanobubbles) has begun receiving attention. In this short review, we summarize recent advances in the field of electrochemistry of nanobubbles, ranging from new fundamental understandings of nanobubble behaviors to the development of novel bubble-based applications inspired by the basic research of nanobubble electrochemistry.

History of voltammetry in Russia

The paper considers the evolution of electroanalytical methods in the former Soviet Union and Russia for more than 50 years, including the establishment of scientific research centers, the development of new methods, and the formation of scientific schools. The history of voltammetry (VA) can be conventionally subdivided into two periods, the history of polarography (from the late 1930s to 1981–1987) and the history of VA in different versions. The material is obtained from original publications, reviews, and proceedings of specialized conferences. The role of academicians V.I. Vernadsky and A.P. Vinogradov in the formation and development of VA in the former Soviet Union is noted. It is shown that the first work on polarography in the former Soviet Union was published by E.N. Varasova, a colleague of Vernadsky and a former student of J. Heyrovsky and the translator of his first monograph. The statistics of conferences on polarography and conferences on electrochemical methods of analysis is presented; the high scientific and experimental level of Russian research centers is demonstrated; and the role of the school of electrochemistry established by A.N. Frumkin is shown.
