Héctor Abruña, Ãmile M. Chamot Professor of Chemistry at Cornell, has been awarded the 2025 Dreyfus Prize in Chemical Sciences. This biennial award, which includes $250,000, recognizes original research that has significantly advanced the field of chemistry. Abruña's groundbreaking work focuses on electrochemical interfaces, using advanced techniques such as X-ray and mass spectrometry to develop innovative materials for electrochemical devices. The award will be celebrated at a ceremony at Cornell, followed by a symposium at the American Chemical Society's national meeting in 2026.
"Hector Abruña's expertise in characterizing new materials, his leadership in energy research and his foresight in transforming progressive ideas into reality are coalescing into solutions to meet the energy needs of America and the world."
The Dreyfus Prize includes an award of $250,000 which recognizes an individual for exceptional and original research in a selected area of chemistry that has advanced the field in a major way.
Abruña was honored for revolutionizing the fundamental understanding of electrochemical interfaces using X-ray, TEM, and mass spectrometric methods and for developing novel materials for electrochemical devices.
A public award ceremony and lecture will take place at Cornell later this year, culminating in an ACS symposium in March 2026 honoring Abruña and leading scientists.
