Abstract

The research of the Working Group "Electrochemistry with ultrasound" concerns the application of ultrasound to electrochemical systems. It builds upon earlier collaborations in the field to now address significant practical issues, while at the same time maintaining the important level of mechanistic underpinning necessary to best benefit the widest range of practical applications.

Electrochemical processes of considerable socio-economic importance include electrosynthesis, electroanalysis, electrocatalysis, electrodeposition, electrodissolution and corrosion and there are applications in synthesis, environmental science, biotechnology, catalysis, sensor science, polymers and other major industries and technologies. A particular environmental benefit is that electrochemistry is a clean technology that allows waste minimisation, sustainability and pollutant degradation.

The laboratories in the Working Group offer a range of different electrochemical methodologies, from microscale analytical studies in real-life media, through to scale-up of synthetic processes, in all of which we notice effects due to ultrasound. In this presentation the achievements from the research groups are presented.
