9.1 INTRODUCTION

Joliot’s fundamental work, especially the publication in 1930 of the report on his

method, can be considered a landmark in the application of radiochemical methods

in electrochemistry. In the 1950s and 1960s, development in this field was marked by

the simultaneous formation of working groups in Moscow (in Frumkin’s Institute,

Balashova and Kazarinov; in the Karpov Institute, Kolotyrkin and Losev), Leipzig

and Dresden (Schwabe and coworkers), and in Pennsylvania (Bockris and cow-

orkers) (see reviews (1-10)).
