Each year, the ECS Canada Section recognizes a deserving PhD student from a Canadian university for academic achievements in our multi-disciplinary fields though the Canada Section Student Award. The award was established in 1987 to recognize promising young engineers and scientists and to promote careers in electrochemistry and solid state science and technology. Recipients receive a USD $1,500 prize. (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…)
Join leading researchers from across the Americas to address pressing environmental and economic challenges through electrochemical innovations at the inaugural Pan-American Conference on Electrochemistry for Sustainability (PACES) 2026! The electrochemical community gathers from March 16-18, 2026, at the Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente (ITESO), in Guadalajara, México. The Electrochemical Society (ECS) is sponsoring the conference, along with the Sociedad Mexicana de Electroquímica (SMEQ), Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente (ITESO), and ECS Mexico Section.
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…)
