Topic Close-up #9 Symposium E03 – Electrodeposition of Reactive Metals and Compounds 2 (No Water Allowed) Deadline for Submitting Abstracts: April 23, 2021  

The Journal of The Electrochemical Society invites submissions for a 2022 Focus Issue centered on energy storage research in China. Under the Paris Agreement, China committed to peak its CO2 emissions and to supply 20 percent of its energy demand using non-fossil sources by 2030. Energy storage technologies are required in order to promote renewable energy sources utilization and economic performance. China’s energy storage research develops rapidly, especially in the field of “beyond lithium-ion” technologies. This focus issue aims to…
