CI2 is working to lead the world in electrochemistry education to address a severe current gap, as outlined in an CI2 perspective on “reinvigorating electrochemistry education”. Growing industries in batteries, fuel cells, electrolyzers, bio-/environmental sensing, and neurotechnology need trained employees, but electrochemistry is sparingly taught in the US.
CI2, working with the Oregon Center for Electrochemistry and other academic partners in CI2, provide electrochemical education to the world via free video lectures, hybrid and remote courses and workshops, and scalable hands-on electrochemistry laboratory activities at multiple educational levels.
CI2 also published key “primers” in the scientific literature to address critical topics that are often misunderstood and central to scientific an technology progress in electrochemistry. Our first primer is “Potentially Confusing: Potentials in Electrochemistry” which has been downloaded ~30,000 times as of Summer 2022.
