Announcing the Top Peer Reviewer Recognition Program

“The engagement, commitment, and delivery of strong manuscript submissions peer review reports has significantly impacted The Electrochemical Society (ECS)’s ability to maintain a standard of excellence and rigor in the publication of its scholarly journals. ECS holds its peer reviewers in high regard and wishes to recognize those peer reviewers who represent the standard of excellence that ECS has carried throughout its 120+ year history.”

Adrian Plummer, Director of Publications, The Electrochemical Society

Please join ECS in celebrating our China: Top Cited Paper Awards winning authors.

Our publishing partner, IOP, presents these awards to papers in the top one percent (1%) of the most-cited articles recently published in IOP journals with corresponding authors based in China. The top cited papers are identified based on data from Clarivate’s Web of Science during the period of 2020 to 2022.

We congratulate all the China: Top Cited Paper Awards authors on their outstanding achievements and are proud to amplify their work within the scholarly record.

E. Jennings (EJ) Taylor

The Journal of The Electrochemical Society is publishing a focus issue in connection with the Pulse and Reverse Pulse Electrolytic Processes 4: In Honor of EJ Taylor symposium at the 244th ECS Meeting.

This focus issue is in honor of Dr. E. Jennings (EJ) Taylor, a pioneer in the development of industrial applications of electrochemical deposition, surface finishing, and conversion technologies. Dr. Taylor has made significant contributions to the development and commercialization of industrial electrolytic processes, with a specific focus on pulse and pulse reverse electrolytic processes used to enhance a variety of electrochemical processes, coupled with the design and development of scalable, modular apparatus. Dr. Taylor founded Faraday Technology, Inc. in 1991, with a mission to change the focus of electrochemical technologies from the art of complex chemistries to the science of pulse and pulse reverse electric fields. He has been a leader in research into surface finishing technologies, including electrodeposition and electropolishing, as well as the development of electrochemical conversion, recycling, and decarbonization technologies. Dr. Taylor has received awards including the 2013 Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge award for electrodeposition of chrome coatings for wear applications, 2011 R&D 100 award for electrodeposition of Co-Mn alloy coating for solid oxide fuel cells as part of a team with DOE NETL, and 2007 Blum Scientific Achievement award of the National Association of Surface Finishers.

• Development and demonstration of systems;
• Materials for different cell components and their processing and performance;
• Cell, stack, and system designs;
• Fabrication and testing;
• New applications including electrolysis and reversible cell operations;
• Flexibility to various fuels;
• Performance modeling;
• Durability and reliability issues.
