The recently established Advanced Netherlands Institute of Nanoelectrochemistry aims to make fundamental and ground-breaking contributions to a deeper understanding of charge-transfer reactions and electrocatalytic reactions at nanoscale electrochemical interfaces, with an emphasis on how the structure and dynamics of all components of the interface interact in their restricted nanoscale environment. To that end, ANION brings together experts from chemistry, physics, and materials science, including advanced experimental and theoretical/computational methods.

Leiden Probe Microscopy, VSParticle, Leiden University, and ANION will develop new electrochemical microscope
In this project subsidized by Kansen voor West and the European Union, Leiden Probe Microscopy, VSParticle, and Leiden University will develop a next-generation Electrochemical Scanning Tunneling Microscope (EC-STM) to advance our understanding of electrocatalytic processes at the nanoscale. From the side of Leiden University, the project is co-funded by ANION, the Advanced Nano-electrochemistry Institute Of the Netherlands.
ANION Photo Competition 2026 - Winners announced
We are pleased to announce the winners of the ANION Photo Competition, which invited members of the ANION community to share visually engaging images that capture the science and creativity behind nano-electrochemistry research. The competition aims to highlight the fascinating structures, experiments, and concepts that underpin the work across the ANION network.
Serge Lemay appointed professor of Iontronics at Leiden Institute of Physics
In his research, he uses the tools and methods of physics and applies these to today’s most important challenges in electrochemistry. Now, he brings his internationally recognized expertise in nanoscale electrochemistry to Leiden University, where he contributes to pioneering solutions for the energy transition.
