Boris Nikolaevich Kabanov (1904-1988) belongs to all branches of the Frumkin school simultaneously. He was the 1930 graduate of Moscow Univ (the first year when electrochemistry graduates appeared, as this specialization was separated from physical chemistry). He started in the Karpov Institute with D.V. Stepanov in 1930, moved to Frumkin’s lab a year later, and then to the Institute of Physical Chemistry in 1940. In 1958, he became the head of one of the three first labs in the Institute of Electrochemistry…. His 1966 book “Electrochemistry of metals and adsorption” (available as electronic book, in Russian) covers metal deposition, dissolution, and passivation phenomena.
