 In addition to catalysis, his primary areas of research were reaction kinetics and electrochemistry.In addition to his work on organic and inorganic catalysts, he and his students contributed to the areas of kinetics of adiabatic reactions, 
amphoteric electrolytes and ampholytic ions, and the catalytic decomposition kinetics of ethyl diazoacetate.As a teacher, he attracted many young, talented scientists from all over the world.
