What is the word institute associated with? Probably, many will remember the years of the student body: lectures, term papers, passing exams, tests and, of course, defense of the final work. But there are other institutions that are not directly related to education. It is about scientific institutions. IEPhE RAS is an organization known for its advanced developments in physical chemistry.
What kind of science is this? The doctrine of solutions, metal corrosion, catalysis, thermodynamics - just not to list. To engage in physical chemistry, you need appropriate equipment and people who can use it, get new results and implement them.
History and Modernity
Officially, IHE RAS was formed in 1945 and was called the Institute of Physical Chemistry. From a historical point of view, it would be right to count education since 1929. This year, Vladimir Aleksandrovich Kistyakovsky established the specialized Colloid Electrochemical Laboratory in the structure of the Academy of Sciences. Five years later, she transformed into an institution of the same name.
In 1957, the Department of Electrochemistry, headed by A.N. Frumkin, who later transformed into an independent institution. For 48 years, the two organizations have existed independently, after which they become a single structure in 2005. Over the next period of time, a series of renaming takes place, the current name is the Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry named after A.N. Frumkina. The legal form of IHE RAS is FGBU.
Research Areas
As in any organization supervised by the Academy of Sciences, the work carried out by the Institute of Physics and Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences is fundamental. They include research in the field of:
- nano- and supramolecular systems;
- corrosion and the development of corrosion protection products;
- colloid chemistry and adsorption processes;
- electrochemistry;
- radiochemistry and the problems of developing new methods for processing radioactive waste.
The organization has its own web resource on the Internet. It contains the results of some completed projects, published in the form of articles. As follows from the information provided on the official website, the Institute of Physics and Economics of the Russian Academy of Sciences maintains contacts with leading scientific organizations and universities in Russia and other countries, and fulfills government orders on behalf of the Ministries of Defense and Minatom.
The Institute has enormous scientific potential, most of its employees are candidates and doctors of science, among them there are academicians and corresponding members. For training in the institution there are postgraduate and doctoral programs, there are three dissertation councils.
Location
The scientific organization is located in Moscow; it occupies four buildings. Two of them are located on Leninsky Prospekt (house number 31, buildings No. 4 and 5), two more - on Obruchev Street (house number 40, building 1). The fourth building, located closer to Leninsky Prospekt, is the main building of the Institute of Physics and Economics, RAS. The address legally assigned to the institute corresponds to it. Detailed information about the institute, telephones, email addresses, details can be found on the website of the scientific organization.
