The Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation has selected Electrochemical Processes as the topic of the 2025 Dreyfus Prize.
Awarded biennially, the Dreyfus Prize recognizes an individual for exceptional and original research in a selected area of chemistry that has advanced the field in a major way. The prize consists of a monetary award of $250,000, a medal, and a certificate. Unique features of the award include a ceremony and lecture event at the prize winner’s institution and a symposium featuring the prize winner and leading scientists in this field at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society.
“Electrochemical processes use current to effect chemical reactions, and have a distinguished history in chemistry,” said Milan Mrksich, chair of the Dreyfus Foundation Scientific Affairs Committee. “From important work that established a fundamental understanding of redox processes to current applications in energy, the study of electrochemical processes has advanced the chemical sciences and represents one of its greatest contributions to society.” The Dreyfus Foundation wishes to recognize an individual who has significantly impacted and advanced this important field with the 2025 Dreyfus Prize.
