ISE Award Winners 2023

Tajima Prize

• Federico Bella
  Politecnico Torino, Italy for innovative work in the field of advanced photoelectrochemical cells and post-lithium batteries

• Carlo Santoro
  University of Milano Bicocca, Italy for development of electro-catalytic and bio-electrocatalytic systems for fuel cells, water electrolyzers and bioelectrochemical applications

Oronzio and Niccolò De Nora Foundation Young Author Prize

• Mohsin Muhyuddin
  University of Milano Bicocca, Italy for paper: Iron-based Electrocatalysts Derived from Scrap Tires for Oxygen Reduction Reaction: Evolution of Synthesis-Structure-Performance Relationship in Acidic, Neutral and Alkaline Media. Published in Electrochimica Acta 2022, 433, 141254. DOI: 10.1016/j.electacta.2022.141254.).

ISE Prize for Electrochimical Material Science

• Raphaële J. Clément
  University of California at Santa Barbara, USA for innovative work in the field of advanced batteries.

Early Career Analytical Electrochemistry Prize of ISE Division 1

• Paolo Bollella
  University of Bari, Italy for paper: Iron-based Electrocatalysts Derived from Scrap Tires for Oxygen Reduction Reaction: Evolution of Synthesis-Structure-Performance Relationship in Acidic, Neutral and Alkaline Media. Published in Electrochimica Acta 2022, 433, 141254. DOI: 10.1016/j.electacta.2022.141254.).

Jaroslav Heyrovsky Prize for Molecular Electrochemistry

• Simone Ciampi
  Curtin University, Australia for unique and original contributions opening new ways of exploring chemical catalysis using electrostatics in the electrochemical double layer

ISE-Elsevier Prize for Experimental Electrochemistry

• Ian Burgess
  University of Saskatchewan, Canada for his seminal contributions to the development of IR spectroelectrochemistry. He has pioneered over many years the application of lab- and synchrotron-based IR spectroscopy methods, in particular ATR-SEIRAS. His work pushed the limits of spatial and temporal resolution of these methods and made them available to a much wider range of electrochemical systems, which will be of use in many areas of electrochemistry.

ISE-Elsevier Prize for Applied Electrochemistry

• Dulce Maria Morales Hernandez
  Engineering and Technology Institute Groeningen, Netherlands for her contributions in the fields related to the electrochemical conversion of oxygen to the electro-oxidation of alcohols, the impact of binders on electrode properties and oxygen conversion electrocatalysts

• Juliana Brito
  UNESP, Brazil for her contributions in the fields related to photoelectrocatalysis, water splitting and CO2 reduction.

Katsumi Niki Prize in Bioelectrochemistry

• Ana Maria Oliveira-Brett
  Universidade de Coimbra, Portugal for important and original contribution to the areas of bioelectrochemistry, electron transfer reactions of compounds of biological interest, bioelectroanalysis and for her great involvement in the bioelectrochemistry community.

• Mira Todorova
  Max-Planck-Institut für Eisenforschung, Germany for development and application of state-of-art ab-initio based mutli-scale simulation techniques on the forefront of theoretical electrochemistry to tackle problems in fundamental surface electrochemistry. Most notably, by developing an ab-initio potentiostat, she has opened new doors towards exciting new paths in experimental and theoretical electrochemistry alike
