Noël Hallemans University of Oxford Date: January 21, 2026 Time: 1000–1100h ET The Electrochemical Society hosted “Physics-based battery model parametrization from impedance data,” a live webinar by Noël Hallemans (University of Oxford), on January 21, 2026. A live Question and Answer session followed. Answers to some of the questions not addressed during the broadcast follow.
Noël Hallemans University of Oxford Date: January 21, 2026 Time: 1000–1100h ET Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) offers rich insights into the physical processes within batteries—but how can these measurements directly inform physics-based models? Recent work presented in this webinar demonstrates how impedance data can be used to extract grouped parameters for physics-based models such as the Doyle-Fuller-Newman (DFN) model or the reduced-order single particle model with electrolyte (SPMe).
Nomination deadline: March 15, 2026 The 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…

Lithium-ion battery innovation takes a leap forward with the Journal of The Electrochemical Society (JES)’s illuminating new article, “Main Ageing Mechanism of SiOx-Graphite Anodes during Fast Charging in the Absence of Lithium Deposition,” by Hao-Chen Hsiao, Alexander Adam, Daniel Goldbach, Yichen Dai, Jiahao Li, Thomas Waldmann, and Markus Hölzle. This study rigorously uncovers the primary aging culprit—the irreversible loss of over 20 percent of cyclable lithium after just 400 equivalent full cycles—even when lithium plating is absent.
