Research and Innovation
The path to global decarbonization is the electrification of everything.
Mitigating climate change requires radical, rapid solutions that transform humanity’s relationship with energy.
Harnessing energy without fossil fuels demands a complete shift to electrification. Heating will transition from combustion to electric, and industrial chemistry will evolve into industrial electrochemistry.
​
To ensure these technologies thrive in the real world, they must be rigorously tested under true conditions. Research must accelerate both design and testing to meet the urgency of this transition.
​
Extreme electrochemistry will drive these transformative solutions.

Making history and changing the world with Extreme Electrochemistry
The origins of extreme electrochemistry trace back to early 19th-century breakthroughs by scientists like John Daniell and Michael Faraday.
In 1836, Daniell introduced the Daniell cell, providing a steady electrical current essential for advancing electrochemical research. Around the same time, Faraday established the fundamental laws of electrolysis, detailing how electric currents induce chemical changes.
​
Building on these principles, Charles Martin Hall and Paul Héroult independently developed the Hall-Héroult process in 1886, using electrolysis to efficiently extract aluminum from its ore. This innovation transformed aluminum from a rare luxury to a widely accessible material.
These pivotal contributions laid the groundwork for today's extreme electrochemistry, which continues to innovate and tackle modern challenges such as sustainable energy and climate change.
