The Electrochemical Society hosted “Challenges in CO2 Reduction Selectivity Measurements by Hydrodynamic Methods,” a live webinar by Maria Kelly (Sandia National Laboratories), on March 18, 2026. A live Question and Answer session followed.

The author’s written responses to questions not addressed during the broadcast follow.

249th ECS Meeting  

• Make sure your symposium runs smoothly by assigning two chairs to each session. Session chairs keep things running on schedule, ensuring that the science is shared, questions are asked, and hot topics are discussed. Source your session chairs from the list of volunteers Sarah Hazuka provides. Co-organizers, students, or presenters in the session are also excellent resources. Send any outstanding session chair assignments to abstracts@electrochem.org.
• Mind the Gap – Have withdrawn talks created holes in your program? It may be possible to fill gaps by promoting poster presentations to oral talks. Email janeann.wormann@electrochem.org for more information.

The ECS Industrial Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering Division election is now open, featuring an outstanding slate of candidates for leadership.  

This year’s ballot includes two candidates for Division Secretary/Treasurer, each bringing unique experience and perspectives to the role. Their biographies and candidacy statements follow for your review. 

ECS Division officers serve as dedicated volunteers. We encourage all IE&EE Division members to take part in this important election. Your participation plays an important role in shaping the division’s future. 

Voting is open through April 30. Instructions and a link to the electronic voting ballot are at the end of the page.  (more…)

The Journal of The Electrochemical Society is publishing a focus issue in connection with the Heterogeneous Functional Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage 4 symposium held at the 249th ECS Meeting in Seattle, WA, from May 24–28, 2026.  

Heterogeneous functional materials (HeteroFoaMs) are pervasive in electrochemical devices. These devices consist of multiple materials combined at multiple scales (from atomic to macro) that actively interact during their functional history in a manner that controls their collective performance as a system at the global level. The principal motivation for this focus issue is to provide a place to publish the science that controls emergent properties in heterogeneous functional materials as a foundation for design of functional material devices with performance not bound by constituent properties.   (more…)
