Congratulations to Emmanuel Peprah-Yamoah and Ashley Amalia David, winners of the 242nd ECS Meeting Z01 General Student Poster Session Awards. Judges reviewed the 112 posters students submitted in person and digitally. Please take a moment to celebrate all the participants’ excellent work, and of course, Ashley and Emmanuel.
The Journal of The Electrochemical Society is publishing a virtual focus issue in connection with IMLB 2022, hosted in Sydney Australia. This issue is only open to participants of IMLB 2022 who presented therein (invited talks and posters). Review, critical review, perspective, methods, communication, and original research articles are welcomed.
IMLB 2022 is the premier international conference on the state of lithium battery science and technology, as well as current and future related battery systems for application in transportation, industry, grid storage, aviation, aerospace, biomedical, and other promising sectors.
Manuscripts submitted to this issue undergo the normal rigorous review process used for JES, with papers expected to meet the customary high scientific and technical standards for which this journal is known.

2023 Brings New Opportunities for Researchers in Mexico
Posted on October 10, 2022 by Adrian PlummerECS is excited to share that starting on January 1, 2023, all researchers affiliated with the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), one of the largest universities in Mexico and Latin America, will be able to read ECS content and publish open access in ECS journals at no direct cost to the author. ECS’s publishing partner, IOP Publishing (IOPP), has reached an unlimited transformative agreement with UNAM, which furthers the mission of open science and removes financial barriers that many authors face in their desire to publish their work open access.
The Electrochemical Society hosted Dr. Wesley Dose’s live webinar, “Challenges Facing Li-ion Battery Electrolytes and High-energy Cathodes,” on September 21, 2022. Dr. Dose took audience questions during a live Question and Answer session at the end of the presentation. He kindly answered, in writing, questions not answered during the broadcast. Find these responses below.

Paywall comes down from October 24-30
ECS participates in its seventh International Open Access Week from October 24-30, bringing down the paywall to over 171,000 journal and magazine articles and meeting abstracts. The ECS Digital Library on IOPscience is free and accessible to everyone that week. SPARC, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, organizes the annual global event to focus attention and inspire momentum toward the open sharing of knowledge.
ETD Congratulates 2022 Graduate Student Award Winners, Grace Lindquist and Zachary Schiffer
Posted on October 3, 2022 by Genevieve GoldyThe ECS Energy Technology Division recognized the 2022 Energy Technology Division Graduate Student Award Sponsored by BioLogic recipients at the 241st ECS Meeting in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Grace Lindquist of the University of Oregon was acknowledged for outstanding research in the development of robust high-performance alkaline membrane electrolyzer technology; and Zachary Schiffer of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for developing methods for harnessing renewable ammonia and for understanding energy exchanges in electrochemical transformations.
Special issue focuses on lithium-ion batteries and their impact on our lives
The ECS Interface fall 2022 issue is now available to read online. The issue is guest edited by Gary M. Koenig Jr. and Nian Liu.
As always, Interface Editor Rob Kelly invites you to enjoy the issue’s special features and news.
Focus Issue on Frontiers of Chemical/Molecular Engineering in Electrochemical Energy Technologies in Honor of Robert Savinell
Posted on September 16, 2022 by Beth SchademannThe Journal of The Electrochemical Society is publishing a focus issue in connection with the Frontiers of Chemical/Molecular Engineering in Electrochemical Energy Technologies 2 symposium being held in honor of Professor Robert Savinell’s 70th Birthday at the 242nd ECS Meeting.
The focus issue deals and the connected symposium address current and emerging ideas in electrocatalysis, electrolytes, and device design for fuel cells and flow batteries. Topics include molecular-level understanding of small-molecule electrocatalysis (including hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon- and nitrogen-containing molecules such as alcohols, ammonia, urea, carbon dioxide, and others); membranes and electrolytes including additives, nanoparticles, and deep eutectic chemistries; redox-active molecules; and new concepts in fuel cells and flow batteries. Contributions from both theory and experiment are welcome. Studies that connect molecular-level understanding to macroscopic electrochemical technologies are of particular interest. (more…)
