A wide group of electrocatalytic and corrosion phenomena on metals, alloys, oxides and composite materials in aqueous and aprotic media is under study. ... Basic investigations of electrocatalysis theory, mechanisms of electrocatalytic processes and charge transfer elementary act in heterogeneous systems are in the center of attention, first of all, the experimental verification of modern quantum-mechanical theory of elementary act by means of using non-traditional model reactions. ...
