Even more in the same class were interested in pursuing inorganic chemistry post-BS. It's a small sample set of course, but there seems to be a pool of interested or at least tangentially-trained undergrads out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-87873508574728482102021-02-18T14:25:00.974-05:002021-02-18T14:25:00.974-05:00As an electrochemist - as far as I know, I haven&#...As an electrochemist - as far as I know, I haven't heard of an "electrochemistry" degree in the US. As this story indicates, a lot of research in electrochemistry now is devoted to energy storage, so most of the training would be in these research groups. It seems to me that a lot of industrial uses of electrochemistry (such as chlor-alkali and aluminum) are mature technologies with most research done in industry, mainly to improve efficiency. As far as analytical chemistry, probably most of the research now would be in sensors. And there's still corrosion research, mostly done in materials science departments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
