Presented by Prof. Daniel A. Scherson and Prof. Andrew A. Gewirth from August 12-16, 2024

The 2024 Workshop on  Electrochemical Measurements takes place from August 12-16, 2024, at Case Western Reserve University. The Ernest B. Yeager Center for Electrochemical Sciences (YCES) organizes the annual event which is offered in person (onsite) and virtually. World-renowned electrochemists are participating, including Andrew (Andy) Gewirth, Gerald Frankel, Mark Orazem, Uzi Landau, Robert Savinell, and Daniel Scherson. Lectures cover fundamental aspects of electrochemistry, double layer theory, electroanalytical chemistry, corrosion, electrocatalysis, electrochemical engineering and fuel cell and batteries, in addition to modeling of electrochemical systems. Four hands-on laboratories are presented in real time and also recorded for later viewing. Areas covered include cyclic voltammetry, surface electrochemistry, microelectrodes, the rotating disk and ring-disk electrodes, and impedance spectroscopy. Demonstration is offered in electrocatalysis and corrosion. 

The Electrochemical Society is a proud sponsor of the workshop.

Register for David Theuerkauf’s September 20 seminar

The ECS Detroit Section invites you to an in-person seminar with David Theuerkauf, Technical Sales Specialist, AVL North America, at 1800h on September 20, 2023, at Mercedes-Benz R&D North America.

Abstract

In constructed lithium ion batteries, only voltage, current, and temperature can be measured. This leads to difficulty making in situ analysis of electrochemical properties. Measuring and sourcing current at a high level of quality, 0.005% of full scale range, is considered ultra-high precision coulometry. Analysis of ultra-high precision coulometry metrics can be made by running cells at a slow 16-hour charge and discharge rate, with stable environmental control. These metrics can be used to compare degradation rates and anticipated rollover failure, quickly compare different potential chemistries or electrolytes, or detect lithium plating. (more…)
