Congratulations to the 2024 ECS Canada Section Student Award winners, Anu Adamson, Dalhousie University, for her contributions to the understanding and eliminating self-discharge in Li-ion and Na-ion batteries, and Shipeng Jia, McGill University, for contributions to the field of electrochemistry and energy storage materials and excellent achievements in advancing sodium and lithium-ion battery research.
Eleven new student chapters in Canada, China, Mexico, Poland, Turkey, UK, and US were chartered at the ECS Board of Directors May 30 meeting, bringing the total number of chapters around the world to 147!
Join us in welcoming the new chapters into our supportive, global community. (more…)
The ECS Board of Directors chartered a new ECS section in Thailand at their May 30, 2024, meeting. With the addition of the ECS Thailand Section, the Society now hosts over 25 region-specific sections providing opportunities for regional scientists and engineers to connect with researchers and participate in various events.
The ECS Thailand Section is the only designated entity in Thailand supporting electrochemical professionals and students. With the expansion of renewable energy, sustainability, and interest in the field of electrochemistry and solid state science, the section is eager to recruit members, support this growing community, and promote ECS activities.

Minji Kim
The Society and ECS Korea Section congratulate the 2024 Korea Section Student Award winner, Minji Kim. The award recognizes Minji’s significant contributions to elucidating the degradation mechanisms of cathode materials in lithium ion batteries.
Join us in congratulating Minji! We wish her continued success in her electrochemistry and solid state science studies and research.
Minji Kim
Minji Kim is enrolled in the integrated Energy Science and Engineering MS and PhD program at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), where she started in the fall of 2018. Her research under Professor Won-Sub Yoon’s supervision at the SKKU Energy Conversion & Storage Materials Laboratory (ECSML) focuses on analyzing the capacity degradation mechanisms of cathode materials for lithium ion batteries using synchrotron x-ray. Her investigation of capacity degradation during long-term high-temperature cycles in a pouch full cell system, employing commercial Ni-rich layered cathode materials and graphite anode materials, was published in 2023 in Advanced Energy Materials (13, 41, 2302209). Minji also conducts ongoing research on various mechanisms of both commercial cathode materials and next-generation cathode materials, including Li-rich disordered materials. (more…)

ECS San Diego Student Chapter & ECS San Francisco Section Host “An Odyssey Through the Uncharted Waters of Post Lithium-Ion Batteries”
Posted on November 15, 2023 by Jennifer Tarantino
Dr. John Muldoon
Join the ECS San Diego Student Chapter and the ECS San Francisco Section for Dr. John Muldoon’s November 17, 2023, presentation, “An Odyssey Through the Uncharted Waters of Post Lithium-Ion Batteries.”
Abstract
Advanced energy storage technologies such as lithium-ion batteries have enabled the development of ubiquitous portable electronic devices and are critical to the development and widespread adoption of practical electric vehicles. While lithium-ion batteries represent the most advanced energy storage technology currently available commercially, the desire for significant improvement in energy density and cost has led to a strong interest in so-called “beyond lithium-ion” batteries such as sodium, lithium-air, lithium-sulfur, multivalent batteries, and solid-state batteries. In this talk, I guide you on an odyssey toward post li-ion batteries. We travel through the peaks and valleys of multivalent, lithium-sulfur, and all-solid-state batteries. (more…)
