Preface to the Kohei Uosaki Festschrift: Electrochemistry of OrderedInterfacesDesign, Construction, and Interrogation of Functional
Electrochemical Interphases with Atomic/Molecular Resolution
initially neglected but later accepted. After a very tough two andhalf years, involving numerous and extensive discussions with
Prof. Bockris, Uosaki completed his Ph.D., the topic of which
addressed theoretical and experimental studies on photoelectrochemical production of hydrogen, and returned to Japan
in 1976. He worked at Mitsubishi Petrochemical for two more
years examining the electrochemistry of viologens for electrochromic displays and household applications of solar thermalenergy with Dr. Masaru Fuwa and Mr. Michihiro Saito. Uosaki
started his academic career in 1978 as a Research Oﬃcer, a
postdoctoral position, in the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory at
Oxford University where he worked on the electrochemistry ofcytochrome-c in collaboration with Prof. H. Allen O. Hill, FRS.
After one and a half years in Oxford, Uosaki was appointed
Assistant Professor in the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of
Science, Hokkaido University in 1980, and was promoted to
Associate Professor in the same department in 1981. Here, heinitiated new work examining electrochemical semiconductor
interfaces for the production of solar fuels. He investigated theeﬀects of surface modiﬁcation by metals and metal ions andshowed they may act as surface recombination centers and/or
catalysts. This work was summarized in an important review
entitled “Theoretical Aspects of Semiconductor Electrochemistry” in Volume 18 of the Modern Aspects ofElectrochemistry series, which was published in 1986. Uosaki
also made breakthroughs in the electrochemical deposition of
CdSe and CdSexTe1−x. He quickly realized the importance ofevaluating the electrode/electrolyte interface in situ in real timeby using nonelectrochemical techniques. In 1982, Uosaki spent
3 months in Prof. Art Ellis’s laboratory at the University of
WisconsinMadison to learn electro- and photoluminescencemethods to probe the semiconductor electrode/electrolyte
interface. Uosaki utilized these luminescent techniques andlater developed many other methods to probe the structure of
the electrode surface in situ. He was one of the pioneers
applying scanning probe microscopy (SPM), i.e., STM and
AFM, to electrochemistry and was an invited speaker at the
Symposium on “Tunneling Microscopy and Related Techniques” at the 174th Meeting of the Electrochemical Society(ECS) in 1988, the ﬁrst symposium on SPM at an ECS
meeting. While most SPM studies at that time were limited to
examining under potential deposition (UPD) on single-crystal
surfaces, he investigated more dynamic systems such as those
involving metal deposition and dissolution.
In 1990, Uosaki was appointed Professor of Physical
Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science,
Hokkaido University, the chair once held by Prof. Juro
Horiuchi. In the Physical Chemistry Laboratory, Uosaki andThis issue of the Journal of Physical Chemistry C is dedicated to
Kohei Uosaki, Fellow of National Institute for Materials
Science (NIMS) and Adjunct Professor of Graduate Schoolof Chemical Sciences and Engineering and Professor Emeritusof Hokkaido University. This collection of articles from manyof his colleagues, collaborators, friends, and students is
contributed in recognition of Uosaki’s many outstanding
scientiﬁc accomplishments and especially in honor of his
contributions toward Surface Physical Chemistry in general andElectrochemical Surface Science in particular.
Kohei Uosaki was born and raised in Kobe, Japan. He
received his B. Eng. and M. Eng. degrees in Applied Chemistryfrom Osaka University in 1969 and 1971, respectively, withthesis work on “Ion−solvent Interactions and its Eﬀect on
Nucleophilic Reactions” in the Organic Chemistry Laboratory
led by Professor Niichiro Tokura in collaboration with Dr.
Toshihiko Kondo, Dr. Takeki Matsui, Mr. Masaru Onishi, andMr. Sho-ichiro Takezawa. Immediately after the completion of
his M. Eng., Uosaki joined Mitsubishi Petrochemical Co. Ltd. asa Research Chemist where he worked on “Ion-exchange
Membrane and its Application to Desalination Process byElectrodialysis” with Mr. Katsuo Akaiwa, Mr. Taiko Uno, andMr. Naotoshi Watanabe. Uosaki was responsible for the designof a pilot desalination plant to be used in the Kashima
Petrochemical Complex of Mitsubishi Petrochemical Co. Ltd.
in 1973/1974.
He was given a leave of absence by the company to carry out
his Ph.D. studies at the School of Physical Sciences of Flinders
University in South Australia in 1974 under the supervision
Prof. John O’M Bockris. This step marked the start of his careerin electrochemistry. Uosaki investigated photoelectrochemicalhydrogen evolution at single-crystal p-type semiconductors andcorrelated their photoelectrochemical characteristics withphysical properties of the semiconductors. His work emphasized the importance of the potential drop in the double layer
formed at the semiconductor−electrolyte interface and thecharge transfer step at this interface, features which were

harmonic generation (SHG) and sum frequency generation(SFG) spectroscopy, to electrochemical interfaces. Uosaki used
SHG to follow Te and Pd electrodeposition and to probesurface-conﬁned CO on the surface during the anodic oxidationof HCHO. He also demonstrated that surface chirality can beevaluated by SHG and used SFG to investigate the structure ofwater at electrode surfaces, one of the most important issues inelectrochemistry, showing that interfacial water structurestrongly depends on the nature of the electrode and surface
charge.
After he retired from Hokkaido University in March 2010,
Uosaki joined the National Institute for Materials Science(NIMS) as a Principal Investigator of the International Center
for Materials Nanoarchitechtonics (MANA) and was appointed
a NIMS Fellow in 2013. There, he continued cutting edge
electrochemical surface science research. His group demonstrated that a Si surface modiﬁed with mono/multilayers of
viologen incorporating a Pt complex exhibits high photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution eﬃciency and proposedthat the Pt complex acted as a “conﬁned molecular catalyst”.
His group also developed two important techniques todetermine electronic structure at the electrode/electrolyte
interface in situ. One of these is an electrochemical XPS
system in which hard X-rays and a very thin Si window are
utilized to probe the electronic structure of the electrochemicalinterface in ordinary solvents. The other technique uses a
potential-dependent double resonance (DR-) sum frequency
generation (SFG) system. DR-SFG uses both tunable visible
and infrared light, and the SFG signal reﬂects not only theresonance of the IR with an interfacial vibrational state but alsothat of visible light with an interfacial electronic state, thenature of which is also a function of potential. His group also
proposed and experimentally proved that an insulating BN
nanosheet on an electrocatalytically inert gold substrate acts as
an electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), a key
reaction in fuel cells. These examples demonstrate that Uosaki
is still a signiﬁcant participant in electrochemical surface science
research.
Uosaki’s scientiﬁc achievements have been recognized widely
by many prizes including the Scientiﬁc Achievement Award of
the Electrochemical Society of Japan in 1993, the Chemical
Society of Japan Award in 2010, and the Surface Science
Society of Japan Award in 2014. He is a Fellow of IUPAC, theRoyal Society of Chemistry, the International Society ofElectrochemistry, the Electrochemical Society, and theChemical Society of Japan. He was recognized by his almamater, Flinders University, with a Distinguished Alumni Awardin 2006 and was admitted to the Degree of Doctor of Sciencehonoris causa in 2015. Prof. Uosaki has contributed to thephysical chemistry and electrochemistry communities not onlyin scientiﬁc research but also as a member of editorial boards ofmany scientiﬁc journals including Chemistry Letters, Bulletin of
the Chemical Society of Japan, Electrochemistry Communications,
Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry, and Physical Chemistry andChemical Physics and in organizing many international conferences and symposia.
During his academic carrier, he mentored 36 Ph. D.
(including 2 current students), 50 Master, and 37 undergraduate students and 36 postdocs, most of whom are now
actively working as professional scientists/engineers inuniversities, public institutions, and industry worldwide. He
has also accepted many visiting scientists and students fromboth domestic and foreign institutions to his laboratory andhis team members explored important electrochemical andphotoelectrochemical phenomena by using ultrasensitive in situ
spectroscopic techniques as well as through the use of synthesis
to construct ordered, eﬃcient electron transfer systems. Beingaware of the limitations of SPM, he employed complementaryin situ techniques, such as surface X-ray scattering (SXS) and
X-ray absorption ﬁne structure (XAFS). Using thesetechniques, Uosaki showed that Pd deposition on Au(111)and Au(100) proceeded in a layer-by-layer fashion with anadsorbed Pd complex on the surface, giving a pseudomorphic
Pd structure with unique electrocatalytic activity. Combining
AFM, XAFS, and light scattering, Uosaki clariﬁed themechanism of Cu deposition on GaAs from the very initialstage to multilayer deposits, a truly unique feat. In addition tohis spectroelectrochemical emphasis, Uosaki’s main contributions are in the area of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) ofthiol molecules on gold with various functionalities. He
synthesized novel thiol molecules and formed SAMs withexhibiting functions such as redox, proton-coupled redox,
electrochemically generated luminescence, second harmonic
generation, and photoinduced electron transfer. In a particularly
important ﬁnding, he demonstrated more than 10% quantum
eﬃciency for photoinduced uphill electron transfer at a gold
electrode modiﬁed with a ferrocene-porphyrin-thiol SAM, thehighest eﬃciency obtained from a SAM modiﬁed metalelectrode at that time.
During 1997−2000, Uosaki led a project entitled “Electrochemistry of Ordered Interfaces” a Priority Area Research of
the Grants-in-Aid program. The project consisted of 80 leading
Japanese electrochemists, supported by Ministry of Education,
Culture, Science, Sports, and Technology, Japan. The ultimate
goal of this project was to understand and control electrodereactions at the atomic and molecular levels. Each member
belonged to one of four research groups: “Interfacial Structuresand Electron Transfer Dynamics”, “Fabrication of Novel
Interfaces by Using Electrochemical Techniques and Development of High Performance Batteries”, “Ordered Functional
Interfaces for Molecular Recognition and Sensing”, and“Photoelectrode Reactions and Photofunctional Interfaces”.
Collections of the achievements of this project were publishedas three special issues on “Electrochemistry of OrderedInterfaces” in The Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry (Sept.
1999), Electrochemistry (Dec. 1999), and Physical Chemistry andChemical Physics (Aug. 2001). Many special symposia related to“Electrochemistry of Ordered Interfaces”, both domestic andinternational, were organized, including a series of symposia in
the Spring/Fall Meetings of the Electrochemical Society ofJapan and Chemical Society of Japan and the International
Symposium on Electrochemistry of Ordered Interfaces in 1998
and 2000.
Uosaki and his group continued to explore “Electrochemistryof Ordered Interfaces - design, construction, interrogation, andapplications of functional electrochemical interphases” after thisproject was completed. He and his colleagues improved theeﬃciency of photoinduced uphill electron transfer at a gold
electrode modiﬁed with a ferrocene-porphyrin-thiol SAM byplacing a gold nanocluster on top of the SAM thereby utilizing
a plasmon eﬀect. They also utilized this combination to obtain
Raman spectra of monolayers on well-deﬁned surfaces. Uosaki
also extended his study of SAMs of thiol molecules on gold tomono- and multilayers of organic molecules directly bonded tohydrogen-terminated Si(111). He is also a forerunner inapplying nonlinear optical spectroscopy, in particular second
