The Journal of The Electrochemical Society is publishing a focus issue in connection with the 241st ECS Meeting symposium, Heterogeneous Functional Materials for Energy Conversion and Storage 3.
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 bounded by constituent properties.
This virtual issue focuses on papers covering the following topics:
- Novel modeling approaches to elucidate fundamental phenomena in 3D microstructures;
- Advanced 3D imaging and characterization techniques;
- New constitutive theory to correlate material properties to performance;
- Advanced material synthesis and manufacturing methods to create highly ordered microstructures;
- New concepts for the design of novel materials for electrochemical applications;
- Applications of heterogeneous functional materials in devices for energy.
The issue is open to all interested authors who may submit review, critical review, perspective, methods, communication, and original research articles.
