The Electrochemical Society (ECS) is distributing its first-ever set of electrochemical and solid state science-themed trading cards at its Chicago meeting, May 24-28, with Cornell's Hector Abruña to be featured among them. 


 

The Official ECS Major League Trading Cards feature some of the greatest scientists in ECS-related domains, including batteries, energy technology, fuel cells, sensors and electronics. The inaugural run of 50 cards includes some of the biggest movers and shakers in the field, past and present.

Abruña, the Emile M. Chamot Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, is best known for his studies of electrochemical interfaces with emphasis on X-ray methods and transmission electron microscopy. He has carried out seminal studies in underpotential deposition, molecular electronics, fuel cells and batteries. He has been an ECS member since 1982 and is an ECS Fellow.
