New submission deadline is April 23, 2021
Pennington, NJ – The Electrochemical Society (ECS) announces the extension of the deadline by which abstracts must be received to be considered for inclusion in the 240th ECS Meeting. The new deadline is April 23, 2021. The meeting is scheduled to take place at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL, from October 10-14, 2021.
This preeminent international conference brings together scientists, engineers, and researchers from academia, industry, and government in the fields of electrochemistry and solid state science and related technology. Cutting edge research and issues are discussed through a variety of formats including oral presentations, panel discussions, poster sessions, tutorials, short courses, professional development workshops, a career fair, and exhibits. The unique blend of fields represented at the meeting provides a forum to learn and exchange information on the latest scientific and technical developments in various interdisciplinary areas.
The 240th ECS Meeting is a “can’t miss” event for electrochemists and solid state scientists. The full Call for Papers provides details about almost 50 symposia in the following areas:
- Batteries and Energy Storage
- Carbon Nanostructures and Devices
- Corrosion Science and Technology
- Dielectric Science and Materials
- Electrochemical/Electroless Deposition
- Electrochemical Engineering
- Electronic Materials and Processing
- Electronic and Photonic Devices and Systems
- Fuel Cells, Electrolyzers, and Energy Conversion
- Luminescence and Display Materials, Devices, and Processing
- Organic and Bioelectrochemistry
- Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry, Electrocatalysis, and Photoelectrochemistry
- Sensors
Highlights of the meeting include the symposium Electrochemical and Solid State Science and Engineering Applied to COVID Issues. Organized by Sadagopan Krishnan, Oklahoma State University, and Hiroshi Imahori, Kyoto University, it gathers scientists across a multitude of disciplines to focus on the most recent results related to emergent viral diseases. Up to the minute research will be reviewed on the science and engineering of SARS-CoV-2 diagnostics, methods of its deactivation, therapeutics, surveillance, health care devices, PPE, and other approaches to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences.
The Electrochemistry in Space Symposium explores the critical role that electrochemistry will play in establishing the processes, systems, and monitoring necessary to support advances in space activities. Topics to be discussed also how the features of extraterrestrial environments such as low gravity, extreme temperatures, and remote operations impact electrochemical processes and component design and operation. Organizers of the symposium include leaders in the field Gregory Jackson, Colorado School of Mines; E. Jennings Taylor, Faraday Technology, Inc.; Jessica Koehne, NASA Ames Research Center; George Nelson, University of Alabama in Huntsville; Ratnakumar V. Bugga, Jet Propulsion Laboratory; Yasuhiro Fukunaka, Waseda University; Santosh Vijapur, Faraday Technology, Inc.; and Scott Calabrese Barton, Michigan State University.
The General Student Poster Session provides a forum for graduate and undergraduate students to present research results of general interest to ECS. Cash prizes are awarded to the student authors presenting winning papers in wet chemistry and solid state areas.
Submit an original abstract by April 23, 2021, to be considered to present an oral or poster presentation at the 239th ECS Meeting.
