We’re thrilled to recognize one of the top-read articles in the Journal of The Electrochemical Society (JES): “Changes in Structure and Ionic Resistance of Lithium-Ion Battery Graphite Electrodes – Part I: Impact of Formation and SEI” by Jonas L. S. Dickmanns, Lennart Reuter, Robert Morasch, Filippo Maglia, Roland Jung, and Hubert A. Gasteiger.

This study dives into the structural evolution of graphite electrodes during the formation process of lithium-ion batteries—particularly the development of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). The authors provide a detailed, quantitative understanding of how this formation process impacts porosity, tortuosity, and thickness, ultimately increasing ionic resistance by up to 25 percent. These findings are essential for researchers and engineers seeking to design batteries that are not only more energy-dense, but also more efficient and durable. (more…)

ECS Sensors Plus is publishing a focus issue in connection with the IMCS 2025 International Meeting on Chemical Sensors which took place in Freiburg, Germany, from June 22 – June 26, 2025. 

This conference series’ roots go back to its inception in 1983 in Fukuoka, Japan. It has evolved with biennial meetings now held around the world. IMCS 2025 promises an unparalleled international platform for researchers, scientists, and industry experts to share insights, exchange knowledge, and push the boundaries of chemical sensing technology, from the latest advancements in chemical- and biosensors, to innovations in materials science.

The ECS Sensor Division and ECS Sensors Plus invite researchers to submit articles on all topical interest areas to the ECSSP: Focus Issue on the 20th International Meeting on Chemical Sensors (IMCS-25). For more on scope and topical interest areas, go to: About the journal – ECS Sensors Plus – IOPscience. (more…)

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 announces that the ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology (JSS) and Journal of The Electrochemical Society (JES) are now included in publishing agreements with the University of California Digital Library and the French higher education and research institutions’ Couperin consortium.

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…)
