Abstract
J Heyrovsky’s invention of polarography in which a dropping mercury electrode is used in the electrochemical cell revolutionised electroanalysis, study of electrode kinetics and adsorption studies on mercury electrodes. Polarography has also directly contributed to the development of new and innovative ideas in electrochemical techniques, instrumentation and applications
