Freiherr Christian Johann Dietrich Theodor von Grotthuss (20 January 1785 – 26 March 1822) was a Baltic German scientist known for establishing the first theory of electrolysis in 1806 and formulating the first law of photochemistry in 1817.[1] His theory of electrolysis is considered the first description of the so-called Grotthuss mechanism.[2]
