C.J.T. de Grotthuss (1785-1822) was the originator of the first law of photochemistry in 1817, but is likely best known for his formulation (1) of the first theory of electrolysis in 1806. This publication of de Grotthuss' theory of electrolysis is often credited for the first description of the so-called Grotthuss mechanism.
