The 19th century saw many applications of electricity and chemical processes and chemical understanding. Bridging the gap between electrical engineering and chemistry led innovative young researchers in industrial and academic circle to search for a forum to discuss developments in this burgeoning field of electrochemistry.

Into this era, The Electrochemical Society was born in 1902.
