The design of storage batteries entails a holistic view. This webinar summarizes five dimensions of considerations for the design of storage battery chemistries from a chemical reaction’s point of view. Electrode materials and ion charge carriers are the reactants; electrolytes are the reaction medium; battery configurations describe the operation fashion of the reactors; the electrode-ion chemical bonding reflects the nature of the chemical reaction, which affects the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of batteries. The permutations of these five dimensions result in ten unique approaches. The chemical-reaction nature of batteries can be a vantage that unifies rather than compartmentalizes a new paradigm of storage battery research. (more…)
The long-anticipated fourth edition of Electrochemical Systems by John Newman and Nitash P. Balsara is now available.* The fourth edition updates all of the chapters, adds content on lithium battery electrolyte characterization and polymer electrolytes, and includes a new chapter on impedance spectroscopy. Topics covered include electrochemical theories as they relate to the understanding of electrochemical systems; the foundations of thermodynamics; chemical kinetics; transport phenomena including the electrical potential and charged specials; and how to apply electrochemical principles to systems analysis and mathematical modeling.
ECS thanks Drs. John Newman and Nitash Balsara, authors of Electrochemical Systems Fourth Edition, for generously speaking with us in December 2020.

Symposium F03: Electrochemical Conversion of Biomass 3
ECS Pacific Northwest Section Officers are (from left to right) Chair Dr. Jie Xiao, Pacific Northwest National Labs; Vice-Chair Prof. Corie Cobb, University of Washington; Secretary Dr. Yun Li, Microsoft Corporation; Treasurer Prof. Shannon Boettcher, University of Oregon.
The new ECS Pacific Northwest Section, chartered by the Society’s board on October 16, 2020, has planned an active program of events for 2021.
The section seeks to connect all interested parties from academia, industry, and government and bridge a scientific gap while providing networking opportunities that could lead to new developments—and help members advance their careers. The section serves all of the universities and national labs in Washington State, Idaho, and Oregon. Dr. Jie Xiao, ECS Fellow and Battery Division Secretary, took the lead in chartering the section and now serves as its chair. She believes the section will bolster the growth of the electrochemistry and solid state science fields in the Pacific Northwest. (more…)

Prof. Christopher Muratore
On January 27, 2021, The Electrochemical Society hosted Prof. Christopher Muratore’s live webinar, “Two-dimensional Materials for Scalable Modular Electronic Pathogen Sensors.” Prof. Muratore is the Ohio Research Scholars Endowed Chair Professor in the Chemical and Materials Engineering Department at the University of Dayton, U.S.
Prof. Muratore described the global need to move beyond point-of-care diagnostics to inexpensive, simple-to-use pathogen tests readily available to individuals on a daily basis.
NOTE: Registration is required to view the webinar.
Applications deadline isAs COVID-19 continues impacting organizations across the globe, ECS encourages student, postdoc, and young and early career professional authors and presenters to apply for support to participate in the 239th ECS Meeting and 18th International Meeting on Chemical Sensors (IMCS). As the meeting is now digital and no longer requires travel, funds from the ECS biannual meeting travel grant program are available for author/presenter registration fees and ECS memberships. ECS divisions and sections each have their own travel grants with different requirements and requirements.
