Il a mené de nombreuses recherches dans les domaines de l'électrochimie, de la thermodynamique, de la chimie du solide et de la photochimie. Ses découvertes incluent également l'équation qui porte son nom. - Vers 1906, Nernst établit le théorème précurseur de ce qui est aujourd'hui connu sous le nom de troisième principe de la thermodynamique. En 1911, avec Max Planck, il est le principal organisateur du Congrès Solvay à Bruxelles. Cette même année, il fonde lInstitut de chimie physique et délectrochimie de l'Institut Kaiser-Wilhelm, à Göttingen. En 1920, Nernst obtint le prix Nobel de chimie « en reconnaissance de son travail en thermochimie ». Il fut également lauréat de la médaille Franklin en 1928. Il devient, en 1932, membre étranger de la Royal Society. Il stoppa ses recherches universitaires en 1933. Il était alors professeur de physique à l'université de Berlin. - Le théorème de Nernst est un théorème de thermodynamique statistique. Il correspond au principe de Nernst en thermodynamique classique. La différence dans l'appellation provient du fait qu'en thermodynamique statistique le théorème de Nernst se déduit de l'équation de Boltzmann. Découvert en 1906, il s'exprime ainsi : « L'entropie d'un système quelconque peut toujours être prise égale à zéro à la température du zéro absolu ». Lorsque Nernst formule ce théorème, il indique qu'il ne s'applique qu'à des sytèmes cristallins. Il a toutefois été généralisé aux liquides, aux solides et aux gaz, trois types de systèmes macroscopiques. Le théorème ne s'applique pas aux systèmes quantiques.

For this work NERNST received the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1920... During the early Göttingen period of his career, NERNST's conception of the goals and significant advances in theoretical chemistry was fashioned and published in his Theoretische Chemie. This textbook was dedicated to Ettingshausen in Graz. As NERNST conceived it, the most important of chemical processeses was first, to recognize the central importane of AVOGRADO's hypothesis and second to accentuate the law of energy that governs all natural processes. Convinced that theoretical chemistry had begun to attain a certain maturity, NERNST feld that an independent textbook was needed in order to bring together widely different aspects of physics and chemistry... As he indicated in the preface, his objective was to present the latest investigation... In Germany until 1926 this work was recognized as the foremost textbook of physical chemistry...".

First edition. In this paper ""Contributions to quantum theory"" two considerations are given which are interrelated by a common goal, inasmuch as it is attempted to derive two of the most importent achievementss of quantum theory, viz. Planck's radiation law and Nernst's third law of thermodynamics, in a new manner. The proofs do not involve Boltzmann's equation and are thus based enterely on macroscopic thermodynamics. They do introduce, however, the quantum hupothesis. (Einstein points out that the alleged 'proofs' which try to derive the theorem of Nernst from the mere fact that the heat capacity of all substances goes to zero at absolute zero temterature, are not genuine).

First edition of this importent textbook, written from 1891 when he became professor of physical chemistry at Göttingen. The work made full use of the thermodynamic notions of men like Ostwald. In 1906 Nernst announced his discovery, usually referred to as the thid law of thermodynamics. - He received the Nobel Prize in 1920 in chemistry. - Duveen p. 427. - DSB XV, p. 434-35.
