paper journals.
Topics for discussion includes (but not exclusively):
Synthesis
Chemical processes
Battery and energy storage
Corrosion
Biological processes
Synthesis of inorganic and organic compounds
Electrowinning/refining of metals
Electrochemical engineering
Industrial electrolysis
Fuel cells
Kinetics and mechanism of electrode reactions
Theory of charge transfer reactions
Structure of the electrochemical double layer
Electroanalytical chemistry
Electrochemical sensors
Spectroelectrochemistry
Photoelectrochemistry
Conducting polymers
Electrochemistry of semiconductors
Electrochemical process technology in electronics
Electrodeposition of metallic/semiconductor/nonmetallic/composite coatings
Electroforming
Electromachining

Electrodialysis (e.g. desalination)
Software
Databases
Hardware/equipment - specs, opinions, etc.
Applications
Techniques
Announcements/reviews of papers/conferences.
General discussion/opinions/questions.
Positions vacant
Anything else that is relevant to electrochemistry in general.
ETIQUETTE
