- Abstract
The article describes the development of electrochemistry at research institutions in Croatia. The foundation of electrochemistry in Croatia has been laid throughout the work of professors of Technical Faculty at the University of Zagreb M. Karšulin, B. Lovreček, and I. Filipović starting from 1930's. Their work was related to corrosion processes, photoelectrochemistry, organic electrochemistry, and complex stability. M. Branica and V. Pravdić initiated electroanalytical activities at Ruđer Bošković Institute by using polarography, voltammetry, and chronopotentiometry. All these activities helped spreading of electrochemistry at higher education and research institutions in Zagreb, Split, and Osijek. Today, the new generation of scientists is continuing research in this field. The electrochemical community in Croatia is small but very active, which is visible by Regional Symposium on Electrochemistry of South-East Europe initiation and organization, by activities in the Association of South-East European Electrochemists, by activities in the International Society of Electrochemistry, as well as by encouraging doctoral students to organize ISE Satellite Student Regional Symposium on Electrochemistry.
