Chemical analysis of substances using electrical methods, such as measuring electrical properties or using electricity to break down compounds.
Combining electro- and analysis (from Greek 'analyein,' to loosen or break apart). Emerged as a formal analytical technique in late 19th-century chemistry laboratories.
Electroanalysis is a detective method for chemists—by measuring how a substance conducts electricity or how it reacts when zapped with electrical current, you can figure out what it's made of without needing to heat it or add other chemicals.
