The importance of electrochemistry is undeniable—we literally cannot live without electrochemistry for proper JL cell function and transmission of signals through the nervous system. Electrochemistry is also vital in a wide range of important technological applications. For example, batteries are important not only in storing energy for mobile devices and vehicles, but also for load leveling to enable the use of renewable energy conversion technologies. Electrochemistry is involved in the production of materials by electrorefining or electrodeposition as well as the destruction of materials by corrosion. In spite of its ubiquity there are very few formal educational degree programs in electrochemistry.
