Nomination deadline: January 31, 2026The Journal of The Electrochemical Society (JES) invites nominations for the position of Technical Editor in the topical interest area (TIA) of Battery and Energy Storage.
On December 31, 2026, Dr. Doran Aurbach completes his 12-year term as Technical Editor for this important topic area. Under his leadership, the Battery and Energy Storage TIA has become the most active in JES—garnering the highest number of citations, submissions, and associate editors in the journals portfolio.
Recognizing the critical importance of this TIA to JES and the global electrochemical science community, the ECS Publications Subcommittee seeks a highly qualified and visionary individual to continue this legacy of excellence.
The Journal of The Electrochemical Society (JES) proudly celebrates the rapid success of the open access article “Understanding Lithium Deposition in Lithium-Ion Batteries: The Link between Impedance Results and Electrochemical Behavior.” In just a few short weeks since publication, this paper has risen to the top of JES’s Most Read Articles of 2025, capturing global attention for its clarity, rigor, and real-world relevance.
Lithium deposition, or plating, remains a major challenge in advancing lithium-ion batteries. When metallic lithium forms during fast charging or under non-ideal conditions, it can cause dendrites, capacity loss, and safety risks. This groundbreaking study offers fresh insight by directly linking impedance spectroscopy results to electrochemical deposition behavior, providing researchers with a predictive framework to better understand and control plating phenomena.
By connecting impedance signals with changes in morphology and capacity, the authors reveal when and how lithium deposition occurs. Their work identifies spectral features associated with plating onset, evolving interfacial kinetics, and irreversible capacity fade—insights that will guide the design of safer and more durable energy storage systems.
