Challenges of electrochemistry research in Central Africa: The case of Cameroon
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Electrochemistry is defined as the science which permits the transformation of matter using electricity. For many decades, this branch of chemistry has allowed substantial development in western world industries. The most emblematic example is the development of batteries, devices that find applications in almost all domains of our daily life. This review aims to focus on the state of electrochemistry in Central Africa; how electrochemistry is taught and used to improve the daily life of the population in Central Africa are the questions that we will endeavor to answer. We will scrutinize the different research groups in Central Africa having electrochemistry as their first line of research and an evaluation of their achievements so far will be performed, in addition to analyzing their societal impact.
