Abstract

The aim of this paper is considering a brief historical perspective and overview of recent ideas and directions in electrochemistry in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since the 1950s, dozens of researchers worked and are still working on the study of electrochemistry. The research evolved from polarography in the beginning to electrochemical deposition and/or dissolution of metals, alloys, polymers, nanocomposites and deposition of metal powders, corrosion mechanisms and corrosion protection, different catalysts and energy storage and conversion. Since the electrochemical and chemical industry was developed on the territory of today’s Bosnia and Herzegovina in the period from 1950 to the 1980s, researchers and professors were focused on the problems and challenges in the industry, not on publications. The industry was destroyed after the breakup of Yugoslavia, and names of the important researchers are very difficult to find today. That is why only a few individuals can be found on scientific databases in this period. The important validations of electrochemistry schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina are former students who are successful people in the industry or academia worldwide.
