Faraday Discussion 140: Electrocatalysis - Theory and Experiment at the Interface
30 September 2008
Faraday Discussion 140 took place at the University of Southampton in the UK, from 07-09 July 2008.
The meeting brought surface scientists and electrochemists together and fostered the development of both in situ spectroscopic methods in electrochemistry and the study of single crystal electrode surfaces.
FD140 was very well attended with 135 delegates from 18 different countries. In total 24 papers were presented over the course of 3 days, and 47 posters were presented at the lively poster and networking session.

Many of the papers presented at the discussion are already published online, with the full volume, including the dynamic discussion sessions, due to be published very soon.
The hot articles from the meeting, as selected by the scientific committee, are free to access for a limited period.
