Noor Ul Hassan and Maha Yusuf Receive Awards

The ECS Energy Technology Division recognized the 2024 recipients of the Energy Technology Division Graduate Student Award Sponsored by BioLogic at the 245th ECS Meeting held in San Francisco, CA. Congratulations to Noor Ul Hassan of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, recognized for advances in the understanding and performance of electrochemical fuel cells and electrolyzers, and Maha Yusuf of Princeton University for her scientific contribution to revealing three-dimensional morphological growth mechanisms and spatial heterogeneities of dead and active Li on graphite anodes, in situ, non-destructively in a full-cell lithium-ion battery under extreme fast-charging conditions

Presented by Prof. Daniel A. Scherson and Prof. Andrew A. Gewirth from August 12-16, 2024

The 2024 Workshop on  Electrochemical Measurements takes place from August 12-16, 2024, at Case Western Reserve University. The Ernest B. Yeager Center for Electrochemical Sciences (YCES) organizes the annual event which is offered in person (onsite) and virtually. World-renowned electrochemists are participating, including Andrew (Andy) Gewirth, Gerald Frankel, Mark Orazem, Uzi Landau, Robert Savinell, and Daniel Scherson. Lectures cover fundamental aspects of electrochemistry, double layer theory, electroanalytical chemistry, corrosion, electrocatalysis, electrochemical engineering and fuel cell and batteries, in addition to modeling of electrochemical systems. Four hands-on laboratories are presented in real time and also recorded for later viewing. Areas covered include cyclic voltammetry, surface electrochemistry, microelectrodes, the rotating disk and ring-disk electrodes, and impedance spectroscopy. Demonstration is offered in electrocatalysis and corrosion. 

The Electrochemical Society is a proud sponsor of the workshop.
