The Journal of The Electrochemical Society is publishing a focus issue in connection with the Advances in Organic and Biological Electrochemistry and Division Manuel M. Baizer Award symposium held at the 249th ECS Meeting in Seattle, WA, from May 24–28, 2026.
Manuel M. Baizer was a pioneer and visionary whose influence and insights into electrochemistry continue to permeate scientific thought. The foremost internationally recognized authority on organic electrosynthesis, Baizer’s research led to the successful industrial process of the production of adiponitrile by the electrolytic reductive coupling of acrylonitrile. Winners of the award have made outstanding achievements in the electrochemistry of organic and organometallic compounds, biological and bio-inspired systems, carbon-based polymers and biomass, and more.
