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.

Corrosion may bring to mind images of rusted metal and aging structures, but as Ingrid Milošev shows in her latest ECS Interface article, it is far more than a surface level problem. In “Corrosion Science and Metal Protection in Support of Sustainable Development,” she highlights corrosion as a critical factor shaping resource use, infrastructure longevity, and environmental impact.
Milošev connects corrosion science directly to global sustainability goals, emphasizing how extending the life of metals, improving protection strategies, and advancing circular economy practices can reduce waste, lower emissions, and preserve vital resources. Her article brings together science, engineering, and policy to show the central role corrosion science plays in building a more sustainable future. (more…)
Since joining The Electrochemical Society (ECS) as a member in 1984, Dr. Robert G. Kelly has exemplified what it means to be a pioneer in the field of electrochemistry. As Editor-in-Chief of ECS’s membership magazine, The Electrochemical Society Interface, since 2018, Dr. Kelly has been instrumental in shaping our community’s conversation and direction. His lifelong commitment to advancing scientific research, dynamic leadership at ECS, and extraordinary contributions to both academia and industry, truly deserve celebrating.
Prof. Kelly holds the prestigious titles of Associate Chair for Operations, AT&T Professor of Engineering, and Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Virginia (UVA) which he joined in 1990. As Co-Director of the Center for Electrochemical Science and Engineering, he leads innovative research projects that advance the fundamental understanding of electrochemical processes and translate into practical applications such as the development of embeddable corrosion micro-instruments and the use of microfabrication methods to study localized corrosion. His research has contributed to significant advances in corrosion science and been pivotal in addressing real-world challenges such as corrosion in aging aircraft and infrastructure. (more…)

The Journal of The Electrochemical Society is publishing a focus issue in connection with the 242nd ECS Meeting symposium, Critical Factors in Localized Corrosion 10: In Honor of Gerald Frankel.
The focus issue deals with all aspects of localized corrosion with the purpose of summarizing recent advances in fundamental and applied aspects of passivity breakdown, techniques to study initiation and propagation of localized corrosion, the effect of microstructure, advanced materials, as well as mitigation methods for localized corrosion. Papers presenting experimental and theoretical approaches to understanding localized corrosion are welcome. The issue is open to all interested authors who may submit review, critical review, perspective, methods, communication, and original research articles.
Accepting Submissions: October 6, 2022 | Submission Deadline: January 4, 2023
