Symposium 8
Next Generation Batteries – S&T Challenges and Opportunities
Sponsored by:
Division 3, Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage
Almost 30 years after the commercialization of the rst Li-ion battery, the number of applications has rapidly increased and it appears that this technology is presently the only one simultaneously ensuring performance, cost, and safety demands. However, these needs are stead- ily increasing, which requires continuous advancements towards the existing and the development of new cell components and processing techniques – ideally based on the fundamental understanding of, e.g., the reactions occurring in the bulk and at the interface of the active material particles. These efforts include also the replace- ment of potentially critical elements, such as cobalt or lithium itself.
Accordingly, this symposium is devoted to recent advances in elucidating fundamental electrochemical mechanisms and reactions occurring in Li-ion and post- Li-ion battery chemistries as well as the development of optimized and new cell components. Studies, which are related to other (applied) aspects of batteries, including also innovative characterization techniques, are welcome as well.

Symposium 10
Electrochemical and electroless deposition: tailoring growth from monolayers and nanostructures to functional applications
Sponsored by:
Division 4, Electrochemical Materials Science
Various processes of electrochemical material growth are now available, capable to control composition, morphology, structure and thickness of a range of materials, from the monoatomic layer to the mm range. Surface methods utilize underpotential procedures, which could be utterly precise but are generally slow; in contrast, overpotential methods are faster but not as precise. This symposium aims to involve the “UPD community” and the “electroplaters” in a forum focused on bridging the gap between these two classes of materials. Contributions in the general are- as of UPD, few atomic layers materials and thick lms are welcome; however, we aim to concentrate the discussion on the gray area between the two, where novel concepts may be needed to enhance the quality of materials. In particular, contributions are welcome, but not limited to:
• Concepts and methods of few monolayer growth
• Two-dimensional materials
• Tailoring micro/nanostructure over length scales via voltage waveforms and/or additives
• Electrochemical synthesis in ionic liquid, novel media
• The origin of growth instability and methods to avoid them

Nanoelectrochemistry and electrocatalysis – from fundamentals to applications
Sponsored by:
Division 1, Analytical Electrochemistry
Division 7, Physical Electrochemistry
Division 2, Bioelectrochemistry
Division 3, Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage
Division 4, Electrochemical Materials Science
Reactions at complex real systems in sensing, energy conversion and others are characterized by signi cant heterogeneity. Their properties cannot be resolved accurately when averaging techniques are applied. One way to circumvent this problem is to model the real system by idealized systems, as is e.g. done when single crystal surfaces are used, which also can by methods developed in surface science, like STM. The other option is the utilization of nanoelectrodes or nanoarchitectures enabling electrochemical analysis across different scales in both size and concentration, even down to nanometer scales and the single entity level. The same methods can be applied to study living systems, which are inherently heterogeneous and elucidate this diversity down to the level of individual cells. To even further characterize and understand these complex systems it is often required to apply orthogonal analytical methods, including scanning electrochemical, super resolution and electron microscopy. The symposium covers the entire spectrum of electrocatalytic reactions, nanosensors, nanoelectrode fabrication, spatially resolved measurements and theoretical work. The organizers wish to bring together researchers working on fundamental model systems for fuel cells, electrolyzers, metal-air batteries and arti cial photosynthesis including nanoelectrochemical techniques for sensing, electrocatalysis, materials science, and biology and theoretical description thereof.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, fundamental research on:
• Electrocatalysis of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, chloride, as well as oxidation and hydrogenation of small organic molecules
• Electrocatalytic reactions in aqueous and non-aqueous electrolytes, ionic liquids and water in salt.
• Electrocatalyst materials such as metals, oxides, nitrides, phosphides, chalcogenides comprising nanoparticles, nanostructures or single crystals
• Bio-inspired electrocatalysts with relevance to arti cial photosynthesis
• Mechanistic studies, property-activity relationships, property-selectivity relationships and property-stability relationships
• Combined electrocatalytic and spectroscopic studies
• Theoretical work on all time and length scales
• Sensor design and simulation to enhance sensitivity, improve selectivity and/or gain greater stability
• Novel device fabrication methodologies and materials for sensing applications
• Electrochemical surface imaging techniques and combinations with other methods

Sponsored by: All Divisions
After successful symposia on education during previous ISE annual meetings held recently in Mexico (2013) and the USA (2017), the objective of this Symposium is a transmission of knowledge from prominent electrochemists (chosen as key note and/or invited lecturers), having large experimental and theoretical background, to new generations of electrochemists.
Following O’Mara Bockris’s sentence: “Looking back to look forward”, particular ambition of this symposium is to obtain a better perspective on future efforts in electro-chemical education, research and applications.
The symposium topics cover, but are not limited to:
• “Lookingbacktolookforward”Transferofknowledge from prominent electrochemists to the coming generations of electrochemists.
• Teaching Electrochemistry in the frame of General Chemistry course - what to offer?
• Teaching Electrochemistry in the frame of physical chemistry course - what to offer?
• Creation of electrochemistry courses for different lev- els of studying - what students know when they enter and what they need to know to complete the course.
• From general to highly specialized courses in electrochemistry
• New teaching tools in electrochemistry education.
• Conceptsandstrategiesinelectrochemicaleducation.
• Experience in teaching and examination - Effect of adopted knowledge.
• The importance of experiments in teaching electrochemistry.
• Combining teaching transport phenomena, chemical catalysis (homogenous and heterogenous) and chemical reactors design with electrochemistry and electrochemical engineering.
• Electrochemicaleducationofengineersandscientists- what is the difference?
• Combining Electrochemistry and Computational Chemistry
• Modeling Electrochemical Reactions Using Density Functional Calculations
