Alvin J. Salkind, He Wrote the Book on Alkaline Batteries
The majority of Alvin Salkind’s life has revolved around electrochemical technology. From being the first to build a battery into an x-ray port tracking structure with state of charge, to run-ins with Einstein’s assistant, to his resolution of the structure of AgO using neutron diffraction, to his time shared with Nobel Laureate Rudy Marcus—Dr. Salkind’s impact in electrochemistry has been vast and immense.
