Publish open access with ECSWhen 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.

Honoring Global Volunteer Month and Celebrate Diversity MonthDuring the month of April, we honor both Global Volunteer Month and Celebrate Diversity Month. This month is a time to reflect and remind us of the importance of the globally diverse stewardship that technical societies rely on to forward their missions.
The Editorial Boards leading and supporting The Electrochemical Society publications include experts in the fields of electrochemistry and solid state science from a range of gender identities, races, career levels, nationalities, cultures, and languages.
Following the great success of the highly cited reviews published in the first Sensor Reviews focus issue, the Journal of The Electrochemical Society is publishing a follow-up focus issue, Sensor Reviews II. The second edition of the focus issue highlights the current state of the art regarding the (micro/nano) fabrication of electrochemical sensors devices, including the adoption of nanomaterials, synthetic receptors, smart and porous materials, 3D architectures, AI and machine learning tools, to be applied to clinical, environmental, pharmaceutical, agri-food, and industrial fields.

The Electrochemical Society eagerly invites you to our third on-site “Meet the Editors” event at the upcoming 243rd ECS Meeting. Connect with 12 esteemed editors of our family of journals at the ECS booth. They are there to answer your questions on journal processes and discuss editorial opportunities and the vision for ECS Publications’ growth. As you determine your personal meeting schedule, take this opportunity to interact directly with ECS Publications Editorial Team members!
The Journal of The Electrochemical Society, in collaboration with Electrochemical Safety Research Institute (ESRI), UL Research Institutes, is publishing a focus issue titled Journey of Lithium-Ion: Performance, Safety, and Lifespan. The Electrochemical Safety Research Institute (ESRI)—one of five UL Research Institutes—conducts fundamental scientific research to understand the safety and performance of energy technologies.
In recent years, renewable energy technologies have emerged as one of the highest priority solutions to climate change. But they also present very real risks; for example, key chemicals inside lithium-ion batteries pose life-threatening harm if they aren’t manufactured, stored, and recycled correctly. Our scientists explore the safety and performance limits of storage batteries and other renewable energy technologies and investigate how we can overcome those limits safely. Through our discovery-driven research, we innovate, test, model, and lay the foundation for electrochemical energy storage that is reliable and safe. (more…)
As ECS closes out March 2023, we celebrate four full issues of ECS Sensors Plus, the first 2023 issue on its way, and over 1,000 citations of content published in the journal to date!
ECS Sensors Plus, launched in January 2022, is the home for all content related to sensor technology. The journal leads and promotes scholarly communication and interactions among scientists, engineers, and technologists whose primary interests focus on materials, structures, properties, performance, and characterization of sensing and detection devices, methods, and systems, including sensor arrays and networks.
Register for May 30 workshopIf you are attending the 243rd ECS Meeting in Boston, join us for our second Peer Review Excellence Workshop on Tuesday, May 30, 2023, from 0830-1100h ET. This is an optional free session for registered meeting attendees. Space is very limited, so register early to confirm your seat!
