Abstract:
Modern electroanalytical chemistry, based on an intimate coupling of electrochemical techniques and spectroscopic and imaging methodologies, contains a broad range of very powerful research tools that are invariably characterized by descriptors of in situ, in vivo, real-time, online, etc. This Perspective offers a viewpoint of the authors on part of the grand challenges facing society and our planet in the 21st century, where contemporary analysts, armed with modern electroanalytical chemistry, have the ability to tackle these challenges with unprecedented levels. Prominent research topics such as energy, environment and biology are highlighted to manifest the capability and indispensability of modern electroanalytical chemistry when addressing these pressing challenges and beyond.

Water
The polarity of the water molecule and its resulting hydrogen bonding makes water a unique substance with special properties that are intimately tied to the processes of life. Life originally evolved in an aqueous environment, and most of an organism’s cellular chemistry and metabolism occur inside the aqueous contents of the cell’s cytoplasm. Special properties of water are its high heat capacity...
