Question 2

Which institutions lead Electrochemistry research?

Accepted Answer

Chinese Academy of Sciences (China) ranks first in Electrochemistry on research quality in 2022-now, followed by Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres.

Question 3

Who are the leading researchers in Electrochemistry?

Accepted Answer

Counting only their work in Electrochemistry, Allen J. Bard, Marc T. M. Koper and Michaël Grätzel have the most papers in the world top 10% for their subfield and year beyond the 10% expected.

Question 4

Where is Electrochemistry research done?

Accepted Answer

The largest centres of Electrochemistry research in 2022-now are Beijing (China), Shanghai (China), Nanjing (China) and Wuhan (China). Among places with at least 20 works in it, it is an unusually large share of all research in Karaikudi.

Question 5

Where is the best place to study Electrochemistry?

Accepted Answer

Among universities, judged by research, Nanjing University, Hunan University and University of Chinese Academy of Sciences score highest, combining standing in the field's ranking, citation excellence, specialisation, size, growth and international reach. Research strength is one signal when choosing where to study; it does not measure teaching.
