Congratulations to the spring ECS award recipients! These distinguished individuals have demonstrated exceptional achievement and made meaningful contributions to the fields of electrochemistry and solid state science. Their dedication, innovation, and commitment are an inspiration to the broader community.
Their accomplishments will be formally recognized at the 250th ECS Meeting in Calgary, Canada, as well as at select upcoming ECS Section Meetings.
Join us in celebrating their impact on the scientific community. The Society looks forward to honoring their continued success.
Focus Issue on Corrosion Science and Engineering for a Sustainable Future
Posted on June 12, 2026 by Beth Schademann
The Journal of The Electrochemical Society is publishing a collection of papers on corrosion science and engineering for a sustainable future.
In today’s era of ever-increasing demand for metals, sustainable development is at the forefront of our attention. Corrosion science and engineering, including corrosion protection, are integral to sustainable development, as they enhance the durability and efficiency of infrastructure, conserve resources, and prolong objects’ lifespans.

ECS Webinar: “Is LMFP the next big thing for EV batteries?”
Posted on June 4, 2026 by Maggie Hohenadel
A new ECS Advances (ECSA) focus issue titled Electrochemical Innovations is planned in connection with the Z02—Celebrating Electrochemical and Solid-State Science Innovations symposium at the 250th ECS Meeting in Calgary, Canada, from October 25–29, 2026. The issue aims to encourage publications emphasizing novel scientific developments in electrochemistry and the translation of scientific discoveries across the “valley of death” into commercial processes and products. This initiative aligns with The Electrochemical Society (ECS)’s vision to accelerate scientific discovery, advance theory, encourage research, promote technology, and accelerate innovation in electrochemical and solid-state science for the public benefit.
Manuscripts that address electrochemical innovations or novel developments in cell designs, systems, reactions, methods, diagnostics, or mechanistic understanding, rather than routine or incremental advances, across all areas of electrochemical and solid state science and engineering are welcomed. Submissions from all disciplines and geographic regions are encouraged, with particular emphasis on student participation. Presentation at the 250th ECS Meeting Z02 symposium is not required for submission to this focus issue. (more…)

Panels Focus on Electrochem Grad Student and Postdoc Career Choices and Professional Development
Posted on May 15, 2026 by Frances ChavesECS 249: Z05 Young Researchers in Western North America – A Special Symposium and Workshop
The Z05 Symposium and Workshop takes place on Sunday and Monday, May 24–25, 2026, in Seattle, WA, during the 249th ECS Meeting. The symposium includes three expert panels from academia and industry, offering graduate students and postdocs valuable insights into career paths and professional development in the ever-evolving field of electrochemistry. Nobel laureate M. Stanley Whittingham is featured in the third panel.
The symposium is designed to:
-
Strengthen the academic and professional network of early-career researchers across Western North America;
-
Foster meaningful connections among scientists and engineers;
-
Introduce relevant research grant opportunities;
-
Provide space for participants to share their work and experiences.
Panelists will be available during coffee breaks to provide feedback and engage in networking discussions. (more…)

Roger Loo
The Electrochemical Society hosted “Epitaxial Si/SiGe Multilayers for novel logic and memory devices” a live webinar by Roger Loo (imec) on May 6, 2026. A live question and answer session followed. Answers to some of the questions not addressed during the broadcast follow.
Replay webinarQ&A
How do you avoid TSVs (thru silicon vias)?
This presentation did not cover the post epi device fabrication steps. For this question, we kindly refer the audience to the work published by Anabela Veloso et al 2024 ECS Trans. 113 13, https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1149/11302.0013ecst
