German Electrochemical Society

In 1894, the German electrochemical society under the presidency of W. Ostwald was fonnded (later renamed the Bnnsen Society for Applied Physical Chemistry), which began to pnblish a specialized journal, Zeitschrift fur Elektrochemie. In 1902, the American Electrochemical Society was founded (from 1930, the Electrochemical Society, Inc.), which began to pnblish the Transactions of the Electrochemical Society and beginning in 1948, the Journal of the Electrochemical Society. 

Fritz haber s debut performance on the scientific stage captured Wilhelm Ostwald s full attention and fixed itself in his memory. Years later, while writing his memoirs, Ostwald remembered the scene clearly the fifth annual congress of the German Electrochemical Society in 1898, hosted by Ostwald himself in his gleaming new Institute of Physical Chemistry in Leipzig—the institute that Haber had once tried and failed to join.

In 1902 Haber was chosen by the German Electrochemical Society, with van t Hoffs recommendation and financial support, to make a sixteen-week fact-finding and study tour of the United States. He left on August 18 and traveled extensively around the country to be able to report on the country s chemical education and electrochemical industry. After returning home in the third week of December...
