October 13-14 Workshop Organized by Prof. Yan Yau 

Event 

The in-person fifth Organic Battery Days (OBD) 2022 Workshop continues a series of OBD events that started in Uppsala, Sweden, in 2017. This is the first time the OBD Workshop takes place in the United States! Building on the success of previous meetings, this year’s in-person event aims to strengthen communication and cooperation among experts from academic organizations, research institutes, and manufacturing companies, as well as to exchange knowledge and experience on the most recent developments in the field of organic batteries.

Congratulations to the 2022 Industrial Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering Division student award winners: Arghya Patra and Matthew Liu. Learn about the award winners below!

IE&EE Division Student Achievement Award

Award Recipient: Matthew Liu

Matthew Liu is a PhD student in the Chemical Engineering Department at Stanford University and a NASA space technology graduate research fellow. A member of William Tarpeh’s lab, Matthew researches electrochemical reactive-separation processes to recover ammonia from nitrogen-rich wastewaters. He has a particular focus on electrocatalytic nitrate reduction, which has led him to investigate systems driven by heterogeneous catalysis, molecular catalysis, and single atom catalysis. Matthew is also interested in how the structure and composition of the microenvironment at the electrode-electrolyte interface directs nitrate reduction performance. (more…)

Centennial Celebration Logo Design

This year, ELDP marks 100 years since its founding with a Centennial Celebration. The Early Career Forum invites all ELDP division members to submit designs for a “100 years of the Electrodeposition Division Logo.” The division’s Executive Committee will review submissions and choose the best idea. The logo will feature prominently in all ELDP symposia at the 242nd ECS Meeting in Atlanta, GA, from October 9-13, 2022.

If you have a good idea:

• Submit your logo design via email to Dr-Ing. René Böttcher (rene.boettcher@tu-ilmenau.de)
• Submission file format: EPS or PNG (300 dpi resolution)
• Submission deadline is August 31, 2022
