The Journal of The Electrochemical Society is publishing a focus issue in connection with the 18th International Symposium on Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC-XVIII), which took place from May 28-June 2, 2023, in Boston, MA. The papers in this issue are based on SOFC-XVIII and cover all aspects of SOFCs and solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs), including:

  • Development and demonstration of systems;
  • Materials for different cell components and their processing and performance;
  • Cell, stack, and system designs;
  • Fabrication and testing;
  • New applications including electrolysis and reversible cell operations;
  • Flexibility to various fuels;
  • Performance modeling;
  • Durability and reliability issues.

A hot topic and emerging technology in the scientific community is the development of biosensors for organ-on-chip (OOC) devices. As research on OOCs continues expanding, so does the pressing need to integrate novel sensing approaches beyond spectroscopic, enzymatic, and voltametric platforms. There is a concurrent and growing need for scholarly content that supports advances in disease model development, drug screening, toxicology, pathogenesis studies, efficacy testing, and virology. Help The Electrochemical Society disseminate content in this area by making us your home for publishing gold open-access content on biosensors for OOCs. Reviews, perspectives, methods, and research articles on this topic are welcome. Submit today!

Be sure to read Prof. Rashmi Jha’s article, “Emerging Memory Devices Beyond Conventional Data Storage: Paving the Path for Energy-Efficient Brain-Inspired Computing,” in the spring 2023 issue of The Electrochemical Society Interface.

The article aims to address “limitations of the memory bandwidth of machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms, and the necessity of novel computing architectures to overcome this limitation” (Jha, 2023).

Rashmi Jha is Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Cincinnati (UC). Her research interests are in artificial intelligence; low-power neuromorphic systems; CMOS and other emerging logic and memory devices; on-die sensors; cross-technology heterogenous integration and modeling; cybersecurity with an emphasis on hardware security; additive, flexible, and wearable electronics; nanoelectronics; neuroscience and neuroelectronics; and bio-inspired computing and systems.

Publish open access with ECS

When you choose to publish your research on an open-access platform, you choose to share your work with the scientific community in the spirit of advancing scientific discovery.

ECS, in partnership with IOP, is making it simple for authors to choose open access! If you are fearful of the direct cost of open access article processing charges (APCs), be sure to research ways to reduce or eliminate APCs before submission.

While society needs to approach or surpass net zero carbon emissions by 2050 if the planet as we know it is to survive, most of the low carbon technologies that we promote (such as electric vehicles) cannot achieve net zero when considered over their whole life cycle. It is, therefore, essential that these important low carbon technologies be augmented by technologies that consume more carbon than they emit over their lifetime. These are best termed “carbon negative technologies.”

This collaborative focus issue between JPhys Energy and Journal of The Electrochemical Society  brings together researchers from the international community to showcase the latest research on carbon negative technologies, fostering the exchange of ideas and addressing global challenges and opportunities.
