Abstract

The historical interplay between the theoretical researches of the Frumkin School and the development of modern power sources technology is described. We show that the combination of solid fundamental knowledge with individual talent was the crucial factor in the development of power sources research and industry in the former USSR. Since historical trends tend to persist over time, it is clear that future developments of power sources will also require substantial inputs from basic electrochemistry, even if such requirements are not obvious to many present-day research managers.

Notes

  1. We should mention that one of the motivations for the studies of surface phenomena was initially mineral flotation, a very important technological process in the field of hydrometallurgy [36].

  2. Institute name in Russian was “Elementno-elektrougol’nyi institut.”

  3. NIIEI is the institute of carbon research for electrical applications (“Institut elektrougol’nykh izdeliy”).
