ECS Treasurer | 2014–2018 E. Jennings (EJ) Taylor is Chief Technical Officer and Intellectual Property Director at Faraday Technology Inc., an electro-chemical engineering company that he founded in 1991. His vision for Faraday was to explore the possibilities of pulse and pulse reverse electrolysis and shift the focus of electrochemical process technologies from chemical additions and often hazardous electrolytes to “electric field” control with simple, environmentally benign electrolytes. With contributions from a very talented Faraday staff, Dr. Taylor has collaborated…

When we think of energy, often large-scale grid storage or sleek, highly-efficient lithium ion batteries that power most of our electronics are the first things that come to mind. However, for applications such as biomedical or environmental monitoring devices, there could be an alternative way to harness energy without the use of pricy technology. Researchers have discovered the through harnessing the energy crated by small motions, a small but unlimited power supply could be generated. With electrochemical principals as the…

ECS President | 1908-1909 Edward Goodrich Acheson, a charter member and President of the Society (1908-1909), was born in Washington, PA, on March 9, 1856. From the age of 30 to 70, he received 69 patents on devices, techniques, and compositions of matter in the fields of mechanics, electricity, electrochemistry, and colloid chemistry. His father’s death required Acheson to start work at the age of 16 to help support his family. He held various railroad jobs, performing scientific work and…
