The Journal of The Electrochemical Society is publishing a focus issue in connection with the 19th International Symposium on Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC-XIX) (Stockholm, Sweden, July 13-18, 2025).  

The Nineteenth International Symposium on Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC- XIX) provides an international forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest research and developments on solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs), and related topics. Papers are solicited on all aspects of solid oxide fuel cells and electrolyzers. Following is a partial list of topics  addressed: (1) materials for cell components (e.g., electrolyte, electrodes, interconnects, and seals); (2) fabrication methods for cell components, complete cells, and stacks; (3) cell designs, electrochemical performance, and modeling; (4) stack designs and their performance; (5) utilization of different fuels with or without reformation; (6) stationary power generation, transportation, and portable power applications; and (7) prototype SOFC and SOEC systems, field test experience, and cost.

In a recent ECS Sensors Plus publication, researchers spotlight a cutting-edge advancement in non-enzymatic glucose sensing using vanadium MXene-modified disposable screen-printed electrodes. The study, “Vanadium MXene Modified Disposable Screen-Printed Electrodes for Highly Sensitive Glucose Sensing,” explores the development of a highly sensitive, cost-effective, and reproducible sensor platform capable of rapid glucose detection.

Leveraging the unique electrochemical properties of vanadium-based MXenes, the authors demonstrate a low detection limit, wide linear range, and excellent selectivity—key parameters that make the device promising for real-world clinical and wearable biosensing applications. This innovation supports the growing demand for accessible and accurate glucose monitoring technologies, particularly in the management of diabetes. (more…)

ECS Advances is proud to spotlight the article, “Challenges to the Adoption of Deep Eutectic Solvents in the Electrodeposition Industries,” by T. A. Green and S. Roy of the Department of Chemical and Process Engineering at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UK. This thought-provoking contribution critically examines the barriers to widespread industrial adoption of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) in electrodeposition processes, an emerging area of great interest for sustainable electrochemical manufacturing.

The authors provide a comprehensive overview of the scientific, technical, and regulatory challenges impeding the transition from traditional electrolytes to DESs, while also offering valuable insights into future research directions that could unlock DESs’ full potential. Their work serves as a crucial reference for researchers, industry professionals, and policymakers aiming to advance green electrochemistry. (more…)
