Honoring Global Volunteer Month and Celebrate Diversity Month

During 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.

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.
