The Journal of The Electrochemical Society is publishing a focus issue in connection with the Frontiers of Chemical/Molecular Engineering in Electrochemical Energy Technologies 2 symposium being held in honor of Professor Robert Savinell’s 70th Birthday at the 242nd ECS Meeting.
The focus issue deals and the connected symposium address current and emerging ideas in electrocatalysis, electrolytes, and device design for fuel cells and flow batteries. Topics include molecular-level understanding of small-molecule electrocatalysis (including hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon- and nitrogen-containing molecules such as alcohols, ammonia, urea, carbon dioxide, and others); membranes and electrolytes including additives, nanoparticles, and deep eutectic chemistries; redox-active molecules; and new concepts in fuel cells and flow batteries. Contributions from both theory and experiment are welcome. Studies that connect molecular-level understanding to macroscopic electrochemical technologies are of particular interest. (more…)
The Journal of The Electrochemical Society is publishing a focus issue in connection with the 242nd ECS Meeting symposium, Critical Factors in Localized Corrosion 10: In Honor of Gerald Frankel.
The focus issue deals with all aspects of localized corrosion with the purpose of summarizing recent advances in fundamental and applied aspects of passivity breakdown, techniques to study initiation and propagation of localized corrosion, the effect of microstructure, advanced materials, as well as mitigation methods for localized corrosion. Papers presenting experimental and theoretical approaches to understanding localized corrosion are welcome. The issue is open to all interested authors who may submit review, critical review, perspective, methods, communication, and original research articles.

Stop by and visit with Dr. Peter Mascher at the 242nd ECS Meeting. He will be at the “Meet the Editors” event at the ECS Booth to answer your questions on journal processes and discuss editorial opportunities and the vision for ECS Publications’ growth—as well as his own research. Dr. Mascher is Technical Editor for the Journal of Solid State Science and Technology in the Dielectric Science and Materials topical interest area.
Meet Dr. Ingrid Milošev at the 242nd ECS Meeting “Meet the Editors” event. Dr. Milošev has been Associate Editor for the Corrosion Science and Technology section of the Journal of The Electrochemical Society since April 2022. She is Head of the Department of Physical and Organic Chemistry at the Jožef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where she has worked since 1987. Dr. Milošev received a BSc in Chemical Technology in 1986 from the University of Zagreb and a PhD in Chemistry in 1993 from the University of Ljubljana. Her interest in corrosion protection includes corrosion inhibitors, sol-gel coatings, conversion coatings, and inorganic coatings. She published almost 200 papers in peer-reviewed journals and nine book chapters. Her work has been cited over 10,000 times, with an h-index of 53. She completed almost 400 reviews for different journals.
Meet Professor Trisha L. Andrew at the 242nd ECS Meeting “Meet the Editors” event. Dr. Andrews is an Associate Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She directs the Wearable Electronics Lab, a multi-disciplinary research team that creates electronic devices on unconventional substrates, such as textiles and living plants, using chemical vapor deposition of soft electronic materials and polymers. Dr. Andrews received her PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2011, and then started her career as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry and Electrical Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her unconventional training in the disparate fields of synthetic organic chemistry and microelectronic device fabrication inform her unique problem-solving skills and varied research interests. She is a David and Lucille Packard Foundation Fellow, National Academy of Sciences Kavli Fellow, Air Force Office of Scientific Research Young Investigator, L’Oréal USA For Women in Science Fellow, 3M Nontenured Faculty Award winner, and was named as one Forbes “30 Under 30” Innovators in Energy.
Meet Professor Perla B. Balbuena at the 242nd ECS Meeting “Meet the Editors” event. She obtained the following degrees in chemical engineering: BS from Universidad Tecnologica Nacional, Argentina; MSc from the University of Pennsylvania; and PhD from the University of Texas at Austin. Prof. Balbuena was appointed Assistant Professor and then Associate Professor at the University of South Carolina from 1997-2004, then full Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University in 2004. There she currently holds the Mike O’Connor Chair I with joint appointments in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering and Department of Chemistry. Her research focuses on first-principles computational materials design, with emphasis in interfacial phenomena for battery and electrocatalysis materials and processes. Dr. Balbuena has done pioneering work in computational analysis of lithium ion batteries, advanced battery technologies, and fuel cell materials, and has also investigated materials for CO2 capture and electrocatalysis. Dr. Balbuena has published 338 scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals and co-edited five books in her areas of specialization. Her work has been cited ~19,500 times (h-index 71) according to Google Scholar. Dr. Balbuena was elected Fellow of The Electrochemical Society (2022), American Institute of Chemical Engineers (2020), and American Association for the Advancement of Science (2013). Learn more.
