Eleven new student chapters in Canada, China, Mexico, Poland, Turkey, UK, and US were chartered at the ECS Board of Directors May 30 meeting, bringing the total number of chapters around the world to 147! 

Join us in welcoming the new chapters into our supportive, global community. (more…)

The ECS Board of Directors chartered a new ECS section in Thailand at their May 30, 2024, meeting. With the addition of the ECS Thailand Section, the Society now hosts over 25 region-specific sections providing opportunities for regional scientists and engineers to connect with researchers and participate in various events.

The ECS Thailand Section is the only designated entity in Thailand supporting electrochemical professionals and students. With the expansion of renewable energy, sustainability, and interest in the field of electrochemistry and solid state science, the section is eager to recruit members, support this growing community, and promote ECS activities.

Minji Kim

Minji Kim

The Society and ECS Korea Section congratulate the 2024 Korea Section Student Award winner, Minji Kim. The award recognizes Minji’s significant contributions to elucidating the degradation mechanisms of cathode materials in lithium ion batteries.

Join us in congratulating Minji! We wish her continued success in her electrochemistry and solid state science studies and research.

Minji Kim

Minji Kim is enrolled in the integrated Energy Science and Engineering MS and PhD program at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), where she started in the fall of 2018. Her research under Professor Won-Sub Yoon’s supervision at the SKKU Energy Conversion & Storage Materials Laboratory (ECSML) focuses on analyzing the capacity degradation mechanisms of cathode materials for lithium ion batteries using synchrotron x-ray. Her investigation of capacity degradation during long-term high-temperature cycles in a pouch full cell system, employing commercial Ni-rich layered cathode materials and graphite anode materials, was published in 2023 in Advanced Energy Materials (13, 41, 2302209). Minji also conducts ongoing research on various mechanisms of both commercial cathode materials and next-generation cathode materials, including Li-rich disordered materials. (more…)
