External Contributions (main ones only):
1 Electrochemically Induced Surface Annealing
This is an important new discovery, published in Nature 407, 885 (2000) The work was patented in the UK and the USA. The discovery is both a new scientific discovery and a new technical phenomenon. The surface of stainless steel can be transformed electrochemically to remove the brittle phases (annealing) and at the same time, hardened. The impact of this discovery can be assessed by the fact that the appearance of the Nature paper in October 2000 prompted a sequence of articles in the popular technical press as well as the broadsheet daily newspapers. References to five of these are listed below:

2. Devised a New Quantitative Model for Electrograining of Aluminium


A new model of electrograining of aluminium has been developed which is both quantitative and predictive. This process is concerns production of lithographic sheet. This unique model is now being used industrially for the procedure by Alcan (now Novelis) and their associates who refer to the work as the “Cambridge Model”.
3. Techniques for the Electrochemistry of Bare Metal Surfaces Generated In Situ
The techniques to measure electrochemistry at bare metal surfaces were devised in my laboratory and have since been adopted by several industrial and academic laboratories, both in the UK and abroad, often in consultation with me (eg University of Trondheim). The method was adopted as a new guillotined electrode at Los Alamos National Laboratory (USA) (2003) built with my advice and guidance. Presented a plenary lecture on the subject (Kurt Schwabe Symposium, Helsinki, 2004)
4. Electrocatalytic Activity of Bared Metal Surfaces
The discovery of electrocatalytic activity of bared metal surfaces published in Nature was summarised and discussed in Chemical and Engineering News (1983) by their scientific correspondent.

10. Invitations to conferences
Currently invited to present 3 to 5 keynote or plenary lectures (average) per year to international conferences.
Main Research Achievements:


  1. Invention and development of techniques for examining the electrochemical behaviour of freshly bared metal surfaces in situ: the scratched electrode and the guillotined electrode. (eg Ref 31,59,62 above) Now widely used in industrial and other laboratories. Eg one was built and used by the Norwegian State Oil Co in consultation with me.




  1. Unique measurement of the electrochemical kinetics of film growth on mechanically bared metal surfaces. Metals which are otherwise too active to show such kinetics, are uniquely revealed with this. (eg Refs 16,55,61 above)




  1. Electrode kinetics of monolayer growth at under-potentials and overpotentials from mechanical generation in situ. (eg Refs 33,37,41 above)




  1. First measurement of open-circuit repassivation of bared metal surfaces in liquids of high resistivity: tap-water and distilled water. (Ref 64 above)




  1. First measurement of time resolved transient perturbation on the repassivating mechanically bared metal surface. It is possible to capture the transient reactivity of the reapssivating metal as it repassivates. (Ref 70 above)




  1. A new model of pitting corrosion involving the transition from metastable pit growth to stable pit growth. (Ref 65 above)




  1. Detection of trigger events that lead to pit nucleation – detected to < 1 picoampere with a new model for the process. (Refs 67,85 above)




  1. New model proposed for tissue toxification from passive surgically implanted metals. Explains the widespread distribution of corrosion debris in living systems detected by others. (Refs 77,116,162 above)




  1. New base electrocatalysts for anodic oxidation of hydrogen and methanol which are passive towards corrosion in hot sulphuric acid solutions. These were designed, synthesised, analysed and tested in the laboratory. (Refs 78,82,102,103 above)




  1. New mechanism for anodic oxidation of methanol on carbidic surfaces. Discovery of a catalyst more active towards methanol that towards hydrogen. This is unique in electrocatalysis. (Ref 104 above)




  1. Discovery (with patents pending) of electrochemically induced surface annealing of stainless steel. (Refs 97,106,107 above). This is a new discovery of a new phenomenon. Patents now published.




  1. Three original papers on different subjects in Nature (inorganic chemistry, electrocatalysis, electrochemically induced surface annealing). (Refs 1, 32, 97 above)




  1. Cyclic “thermammetry”, a new electrochemical technique just developed, preliminary conference announcement in Ref 179 above, now published in Ref 113 above. (The word “thermammetry” is new, coined by me. It means measurement (-metry) of current (-am-) as a function of temperature (therm-).)




  1. First detection of thermal cracking of passivity during temperature cycling using the our new technique: “cyclic noise thermammetry”.




  1. Invention of a new electrocatalyst for a fuel cell anode, which for the first time, allows nickel to be fully passive against corrosion in hot sulphuric acid. (Ref 129 above). This is the first time that nickel has been rendered passive in acidic solutions, and the first time that passivity by a film of carbon has been demonstrated rather that the conventional passivating oxide film, a new concept of passivation.
