1988年美国高尔登(Gordon)电化学研究讨论会于1月18日至22日在美国加利福尼亚州的万秋拉市举行。参加会议的有关美国本国的电化学家约100人,其他国家的为17人。笔者有幸应大会主席W.R.Heineman教授之邀请,参加了会议,了解到今日电化学发展前沿的情况。高尔登科学前沿研究讨论会是一类独特的学术会议。它始于1931年的高尔登有机化学研究讨论会,到目前为止高尔登研究讨论会已发展到130余种,但它们都是与化学学 The 1988 Gordon Electrochemistry Symposium was held January 18-22 in Wancala, California, USA. Approximately 100 electrochemical chemists were attending the meeting in the United States and 17 were in other countries. At the invitation of Professor W.R.Heineman, chairman of the conference, I was fortunate to attend the conference to understand the current situation of electrochemistry development today. Goldenson Scientific Frontier Research Symposium is a unique type of academic conference. It started with the Gölden Organic Chemistry Symposium in 1931, and so far more than 130 Gölden research seminars have been developed, but all of them are related to chemistry
