  Jaroslav Heyrovsky
Jaroslav Heyrovsky (December 20, 1890 - March 27, 1967) was a Czech chemist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1959.
He was born in Prague and first studied chemistry, physics and mathematics at the University of Prague and then he went to study at University College in London.
Heyrovsky started his scientific career at the the Charles University, Prague where he soon became Professor of Physical Chemistry.

Jaroslav Heyrovsky was born in Prague on 20th December, 1890, the fifth child of Leopold Heyrovsky, Professor of Roman Law at the Czech University of Prague, and his wife Clara, born Hanl.
Heyrovsky started his university career as assistant to Professor B. Brauner in the Institute of Analytical Chemistry of the Charles University, Prague; he was promoted to Associate Professor in 1922 and in 1926 he became the first Professor of Physical Chemistry at this University.
Heyrovsky has lectured on polarography in the United States of America in 1933, the USSR in 1934, England in 1946, Sweden in 1947, the People's Republic of China in 1958, and in U.A.R. (Egypt) in 1960 and 1961.

Heyrovsky, knowing Kucera´s work, was prepared for such question, and the surprised examiner suggested that the student continue, after successful examination, his own not fully accomplished research – to solve the so-called "Kucera's anomaly" of electrocapillary curves obtained by the dropping mercury method.
After the successful initial experiment, Heyrovsky continued a systematic research of electrolysis, first with the dropping mercury cathode, as at the beginning various reduction processes were studied, for which mercury, with its highest hydrogen overpotential of all metals, offers the widest attainable range of potentials in the negative direction.
Heyrovsky was appointed director of the institute, nevertheless, as he was not politically trusted by the regime, his further invitations to conferences and to lecture tours abroad were being turned down without official reason.

During the First World War Heyrovsky served in a military hospital as a dispensing chemist and radiologist, which enabled him to continue his studies and to take his Ph.D. degree in Prague in 1918 and a D.Sc.
From here on in, Jaroslav Heyrovsky concentrated all of his scientific activities on the development of this new branch of electrochemistry, but as we hear from Dr. Jitka Cerna and Dr. Michael Heyrovsky, he was not just a stuffy old scientist:

It all started with Czech scientist Jaroslav Heyrovsky, according to chemistry professor Allen J. Bard of the University of Texas, Austin.
In the 1920s, Heyrovsky discovered voltammetry, a form of electrochemistry in which samples are analyzed by measuring current through them as a function of the electrical potential applied to them.
A visit to the U.S. by Heyrovsky in 1933 helped spread interest in electroanalytical chemistry among a group of chemists now considered pioneers in the field, such as the late chemistry professor I. Kolthoff of the University of Minnesota.

Toute sa vie, Heyrovsky travaille sur le même sujet, élargissant le champ d'application de l'électrochimie à l'analyse chimique, et créant une brillante école de polarographistes tchèques.
Le prix Nobel distingue en 1959 Heyrovsky, un spécialiste de chimie analytique, ce qui n'est pas étonnant si l'on se rappelle que cette branche trouve, outre ses débouchés industriels, des applications de plus en plus nombreuses en dehors de son propre secteur.
Heyrovsky améliora bientôt son appareillage pour arriver aux polarographes enregistreurs qui conduisent rapidement à l'obtention de courbes caractéristiques.

In order to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the award of the Nobel Prize to Jaroslav Heyrovský, an international conference ”Modern Electroanalytical Methods” was organized and held at Sec in the Czech Republic.
His main contribution was the recognition of the importance of potential and its control, the analytical opportunities offered by measuring the limiting currents and the introduction of dropping mercury electrode as an invaluable tool of modern electroanalytical chemistry. The capabilities of the technique and its application range are well known and widely utilized.
To commemorate Jaroslav Heyrovský’s contribution, this article concentrates mainly on polarography and voltammetry on mercury electrodes, despite the enormous and ever increasing importance of solid electrodes, carbon paste electrodes, screen printed electrodes and chemically modified electrodes.
