Electrochemical processes under magnetic fields have great potential in practical applications. For EU-funded scientists, magneto-electrochemistry also had important theoretical implications as an interdisciplinary area of investigation.
To date, the exploitation of magneto-electrochemistry, combining fluid mechanics, electrochemistry and electromagnetism has been largely limited to macro- and micro-scales. Scientists initiated the IMAFECY (Impact of magnetic fields on electrochemistry – fundamental aspects and future applications) project with the aim of extending the applications to the nanoscale.
