Just Published JustFundamentals Published: of Electrochemistry This past December,December, ECS was pleased to add to its monograph series, the second edition of Fundamentals of Electrochemistry by Vladimir S. Bagotsky. This new book, published by John A. WileyWiley & Sons, gives the basic outline of most topics of theoretical and applied electrochemistryelectrochemistry for students not yet familiar with this fi eld, as well as an outline of recent and advanced developments in electrochemistryelectrochemistry for people who are already dealing with electrochemical problems. Dr.Dr. Bagotsky is a retired professor from the Frumkin Institute of ElectrochemistryElectrochemistry at the Russian Academy of Sciences. Previously he headed the new batterybattery system department of Moscow Power SourcesSources Institute. He has extensive experience with both theoretical and applied electrochemistry.y. He has authored 400 scientifi c papers, the fi rst edition of Fundamentals of ElectrochemistryElectrochemistry, and served on the editorial boards for the Journal of Power SourcesSources and ElektrokhimiyaElektrokhimiya. In addition to this important contribution to the body of work on electrochemistry, Dr. Bagotsky will leave another legacy: he is contributing all of his royalties to ECS, for which the Society would like to express its sincere thanks. The author has had a long and interesting career; and he recently shared some of his experiences with us.

The Symposium was sponsored by the Russian Academy of Sciences and the International Society of Electrochemistry. The fi rst symposium of this series, held in 1979, was dedicated to the memory of Russian electrochemist Alexander Frumkin (1895–1976). Since then, the Sym- posia have been held every 3–5 years to discuss cur- rent understanding of fundamental electrochemistry and its applications. The 9th Frumkin Symposium included 4 plenary lectures, 112 oral and 131 poster presentations. Scien- tists from the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belarus, the USA, Canada, Austria, the UK, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Poland, Serbia, Switzerland, Finland, France, Italy, Iran and Taiwan took part in fi ve ‘microsympo- sia’ which made up the conference, including ‘Electri- cal Double Layer and Electrochemical Kinetics’, ‘New Processes, Materials and Devices for Successful Elec- trochemical Transformation of Energy’, ‘Corrosion and Protection of Materials’, ‘Electroactive Composi- tion Materials’ and ‘Bioelectrochemistry’. Platinum group metals (pgms) are widely used by electrochemists as electrode materials for studies of adsorption, nucleation, electrodeposition, electro- catalytic reactions and many other electrochemical processes used in applications such as fuel cells.
