The Young Scientist Award was   on the occasion of the Electrochemistry Conference 2022 in Berlin to Dr. Matthäus Siebenhofer awarded in recognition of his outstanding dissertation at the Technical University of Vienna with the title:

"Investigating Point Defect Concentrations and Their Impact on Surface Exchange Reaction Rates of Mixed Ionic and Electronic Conductors"

The Young Scientist Award to Dr. Johannes Ludwig Röckl awarded in honor of his work in the working group of Prof. Dr. Siegfried Waldvogel at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz: "Merging shuttle reactions and paired electrolysis for reversible vicinal dihalogenations".

Vicinal dibromides and dichlorides are widely used as flame retardants, pesticides, polymers and pharmaceuticals; their efficient production without the use of highly reactive and corrosive halogenating reagents has not been successful so far. Only the skilful combination of electrochemistry and synthesis achieved a breakthrough. The electrochemical reduction of aliphatic polyhalogen compounds developed by Mr. Röckl with subsequent anodic oxidation of the released halide and its addition to double bonds is a new concept with a wide range of possible applications. With his "E-Shuttle" approach, Mr. Röckl shows how landfill residues of the toxic insecticide lindane can be used to manufacture new valuable products. Classic energy-intensive and technically complex mining processes can be replaced by the new method. With his work, Mr. Röckl makes an important contribution to sustainable, electricity-based chemistry, which can contribute to the elimination of persistent industrial contamination.
