Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry
The Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry is a research institute focused on chemical physics, surface science, and electrochemical energy conversion. It engages with international centers such as Max Planck Society, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Imperial College London, and ETH Zurich while contributing to programs linked to European Research Council, Horizon 2020, National Science Foundation (United States), German Research Foundation, and Japan Society for the Promotion of Science.
The institute traces origins to national scientific reorganizations influenced by entities like Royal Society, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Czech Academy of Sciences, Polish Academy of Sciences, and Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and was shaped by figures associated with Marie Curie, Linus Pauling, Svante Arrhenius, Mikhail Lomonosov, and Dmitri Mendeleev. Early collaborations involved laboratories modeled on Kaiser Wilhelm Society, Laboratoire de Physique Théorique, Rudolf Diesel Institute, Pasteur Institute, and exchanges with University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, Sorbonne University, and University of Vienna. During the late 20th century the institute expanded research lines paralleling work at Bell Labs, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Research spans electrochemistry, surface science, and materials chemistry, intersecting topics explored by Nobel Prize in Chemistry laureates and groups at Stanford University, California Institute of Technology, Princeton University, Columbia University, and Yale University. Programs address fuel cell development in connection with Toyota Research Institute, General Electric, Siemens, and Shell, and battery research related to initiatives at Tesla, Inc., Panasonic, LG Chem, and Samsung SDI. Work on catalysis references paradigms from Fritz Haber, Irving Langmuir, Gerhard Ertl, Jens Christian Skou, and integrates spectroscopy methods akin to those used at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and CERN. The institute also investigates ionic liquids, polymer electrolytes, and electrode interfaces in projects comparable to those at École Polytechnique, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and Seoul National University.
Facilities include surface analysis suites comparable to those at Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, with instrumentation such as scanning tunneling microscopes like those used at IBM Research, transmission electron microscopes similar to units at National Center for Electron Microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy systems paralleling setups at European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, and electrochemical workstations analogous to equipment at Fraunhofer Society. Cleanrooms and fabrication facilities support microelectrode arrays and thin-film deposition techniques practiced at NIST, Hitachi, Samsung Electronics, and Intel Corporation. Computational resources draw on methods developed by groups at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, and software traditions from Microsoft Research and Google DeepMind collaborations.
The institute offers postgraduate training linked to universities such as University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, Heidelberg University, Sorbonne University, and University of Tokyo through doctoral programs modeled on those at Imperial College London and ETH Zurich. Seminars and courses reference curricula influenced by textbooks from MIT Press, authors affiliated with Princeton University Press, and teaching approaches used at Columbia University. Students engage with international exchange schemes like Erasmus Programme, Fulbright Program, Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions, and fellowships from Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Guggenheim Fellowship, and Royal Society Fellowships.
The institute maintains partnerships with industrial and academic partners including BASF, Bayer, Dow Chemical Company, TotalEnergies, BP, and consortia such as European Institute of Innovation and Technology, Joint European Torus, and ITER. Collaborative research projects have been funded by European Commission, Wellcome Trust, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and national agencies like National Institutes of Health for bioelectrochemical studies. International exchange has connected the institute to centers like Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, Weizmann Institute of Science, RIKEN, CNRS, and CERN.
Notable affiliated scientists include researchers who have collaborated with or trained under investigators linked to Nikolay Semyonov, Max Volmer, Walther Nernst, John B. Goodenough, Stanley Whittingham, Akira Yoshino, and scholars who later joined institutions such as Harvard University, Princeton University, University of California, Berkeley, Technical University of Munich, Seoul National University, and National University of Singapore. Alumni have received awards like the Nobel Prize, Wolf Prize in Chemistry, Priestley Medal, Davy Medal, and fellowships from Royal Society, National Academy of Sciences (United States), and Academia Europaea.
