We’re here to give you all the “materials” you need to make the most of the 244th ECS Meeting! If you’re interested in dielectric science and materials, take a look at symposia on these topics, as well as related symposia.
Extended abstract deadline: April 21, 2023
The Department of Chemistry and the College of Arts + Sciences at Indiana University Bloomington invite you to the Dennis G. Peters Memorial Symposium featuring scientific talks from Professor Peters’ colleagues and former graduate students followed by memorial talks from Professor Peters’ friends and family. The in-person event is sponsored by The Electrochemical Society.

Professor Arumugam Manthiram
The Electrochemistry Society (ECS) is pleased to announce that Professor Arumugam Manthiram, George T. & Gladys H. Abell Endowed Chair of Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, has been named the first recipient of the newly created John B. Goodenough Award of The Electrochemical Society. The Goodenough award recognizes distinguished contributions to the fundamental and technological aspects of electrochemical materials science and engineering. Professor Manthiram’s major contributions to the field include pioneering fundamental and technological contributions to electrochemical energy conversion and storage, involving the development of new materials, advanced characterization, structure-property-performance relationships, and prototype devices. Key examples include the development of sustainable, low-cost, durable materials for batteries and fuel cells, as well as delineation of the intricacies involved with ion and electron transport and magnetic interactions in transition-metal oxides. The award will be presented during the 243rd ECS Meeting in Boston, MA, from May 28 to June 2, 2023. Prof. Manthiram will deliver his award address at that meeting.
The Electrochemical Society hosted Dr. Peter Keech’s live webinar, “The Role of Electrochemistry in Canada’s Plan to Manage Nuclear Waste,” on November 30, 2022. Dr. Keech took audience questions during a live Question and Answer session following the presentation. He kindly answered in writing questions not answered during the broadcast. Find these responses below.
Registration is required to view the webinar.
The Journal of The Electrochemical Society is publishing a focus issue in connection with the Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids 23 (MSIL-23) symposium at the 242nd Meeting of The Electrochemical Society. This is the premier symposium on Molten Salts and Ionic Liquids, and has consistently run a full five days since its inception.
The use of molten salts and ionic liquids has a long tradition in electrochemical processes such as electrodeposition, energy storage and conversion, etc. As the third in a series, this focus issue covers the following molten salts and ionic liquids topics: (more…)
Follow the ECS division, section, and student chapter news deadlines and submission guidelines to be considered for publication in ECS Interface 2023 issues.
Congratulations to John Holoubek, University of California, San Diego, and Singyuk Hou, University of Maryland, College Park, the 2022 ECS Battery Division Student Research Award winners. Holoubek and Hou presented their award talks at the 242nd ECS Meeting in Atlanta, GA, where they received the awards from Y. Shirley Meng and Brett Lucht.
Singyuk Hou
University of Maryland, College Park
A03-0211 Energy Storage with the Abundant Divalent Metal Batteries
Singyuk Hou’s academic career has focused on the research of electrolytes and interfaces for metal anodes. After completing her BS and MS in Chemistry, she started her PhD under the supervision of Professor Chunsheng Wang at the University of Maryland, College Park. Her PhD research is on the molecule-level control of the solvation structure using chelants that promote the charge transfer kinetics of magnesium and calcium metal batteries. It also extends to SEI engineering for high-energy lithium-ion and lithium metal batteries by developing novel electrolyte systems. She has published more than 50 peer-reviewed papers and co-authored four patents.
In 2022, ECS divisions and sections provided $106,295 in funding to assist students, postdocs, and early career researchers participate in ECS biannual meetings.
We thank the ECS divisions and sections, as well as our generous donors who supported the biannual meeting travel grant program. Congratulations to the recipients of their support.
