(1806). Sur la décomposition de l'eau et des corps qu'elle tient en dissolution à l'aide de l'électricité galvanique. ''Ann. Chim.'' (Paris) 58, 54-73.</ref>. This publication of Grotthuss' theory of [[electrolysis]] is often credited for the first description of the so-called [[Grotthuss mechanism]]. == References == <references/> == Literature == * Juozas Al.
