Technology, Japan
Toshio Fuchigami has made outstanding and remarkable contributions
to the field of synthetic organic electrochemistry over the past 35
years. By using fluorine as a key element and employing mediators,
he developed new organic electrosynthesis methods for heteroatom
compounds containing sulfur, nitrogen, iodine, silicon, and boron
atoms. Furthermore, he developed methods for volatile organic
compound (VOC) free organic electrosynthesis in ionic liquids. Dr
Fuchigami has published over 300 technical papers, 54 review
articles, and 44 book chapters. He has organized numerous symposia
at Electrochemical Society (ECS) meetings and he currently serves
as an officer of the ECS Organic & Biological Electrochemistry
Division and the ECS Japan Section. He has served as
Editor-in-Chief of Electrochemistry (Japan) and as an Associate
Editor of the Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Japan. He also
has served on the editorial boards of the Journal of Synthetic
Organic Chemistry of Japan and the Journal of Oleo Science (Japan).
He is a recipient of the Takeda Award for International Achievement
(2006), the Excellent Papers Award of The Electrochemical Society
of Japan (2007), The Electrochemical Society of Japan Award (2008),
ECS Manuel M. Baizer Award (2010), and Kato Memorial Award (2011).
