Call for Nomination – Summer and Fall 2016 ECS distinguishes outstanding technical achievements in electrochemical and solid state science and technology, and recognizes exceptional service to the Society through the Honors & Awards Program. We’re now accepting nominations for the following Society, Division, Section, and Student awards:
An international team of researchers has recently demonstrated a 30 to 40 percent increase in the energy storage capabilities of cathode materials. The team, led by ECS member and 2016 Charles W. Tobias Young Investigator Award winner, Shirley Meng, has successfully treated lithium-rich cathode particles with a carbon dioxide-based gas mixture. This process introduced oxygen vacancies on the surface of the material, allowing for a huge boost to the amount of energy stored per unit mass and proving that oxygen…
