Advanced Additive Manufacturing 3 Dielectric Science and Technology Division
Additive manufacturing is moving manufacturing beyond the conventional analog model to using digital designs, guide in the fabrication of complex, three-dimensional products in a rational fabrication processes-based autonomous workshop. This in turn is leading to a fully transparent product-lifecycle operating model that vastly improves product quality, consistency, and time to market. This transitioning requires intimate and exquisite understanding of the science and engineering of materials, and of measurement science research and standards development. In order to move to a higher state of digitalization and innovation through the tactical implementation of new technologies such as digital twins, artificial intelligence or advanced analytics inputs are needed to develop new roadmaps. This symposium is comprised of sessions on advanced manufacturing such as nano-mechanical properties of surfaces and flaws layered materials; relationships between precursor material and final product quality; material properties and computational requirements to enable modeling of microstructure evolution; part accuracy, fabrication speed, and material characterization; real-time control of additive manufacturing processes, qualification methodologies and system integration. A roundtable discussion on barriers to adoption of additive manufacturing is envisioned as part of the symposium.
This symposium’s proceedings will be published in ECS Transactions and available at the meeting. Authors accepted for presentation are strongly encouraged to submit their full text manuscript for the issue no later than March 17, 2023. Submit all manuscripts online in either MS Word or PDF format.

F02 Multiscale Modeling, Simulation, and
5: In Honor of Ralph White Industrial Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering Division; Battery Division; Energy Technology Division
This symposium provides a forum for tutorial, invited, and regular research presentations concerning all aspects of multiscale modeling, simulation, control, and design of electrochemical systems. Contributions related to both fundamentals and applications are encouraged. From this meeting onwards, the symposium on “Electrochemical Engineering for the 21st century” will be merged into this multiscale symposium. New electrochemical applications are being discovered where the control of events from molecular to macroscopic length scales is critical to product quality and process control. In addition, improvements in many existing technological systems are based today on understanding how to control electrochemical events occurring at near molecular length scales. Future trends in electrochemical engineering will be influenced by the need to control processes and insure quality at the molecular scale. Transfer of molecular-scale understanding and discoveries into new and improved products and processes requires integration of system behavior across a range of length and timescales. New engineering approaches are needed that couple traditional current—and potential—distribution approaches to molecular-scale events in order to accurately describe and design systems to meet the needs of the next century. For example, such an approach will open the way to exploiting self-assembly during processing. This symposium focuses on the role of molecularly coupled electrochemical

F05 Electrochemical Science and Engineering on the Path from Discovery to Product 3 Industrial Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering Division
The path from discovery, invention, and scientific understanding to well-engineered products and processes is complex, and involves the integration of a wide range of skills and perspectives. This is particularly true in electrochemical engineering, where the development of viable processes in energy, environment, health care, or information technology requires understanding molecular mechanisms, tailoring new materials, and integrating data over a wide range of scales in order to scale-up, design, and develop manufacturing methods to produce reliable devices and products at low cost. A clear understanding and creative application of the fundamentals are essential to successfully address these challenges.
The goal of this symposium is to draw together the collective interests of scientists and engineers skilled in moving along the path from ideas to profits. The reduction to routine use of the approaches presented here will define essential engineering methods for emerging electrochemical applications for which increased predictability is of high importance.
Of interest are reusable engineering methods that have emerged from diverse applications such as nano-bio-micro-devices, photovoltaic converters, batteries, biomedical devices, etc. Such methods might include examples of exploratory work that target the need for detailed fundamental understanding down to the molecular level; methods for early establishment of engineering goals for a proposed product; examples of manipulating solution chemistry and cell materials to meet production realities; methods for guiding discovery of novel materials and predicting their interactions with other cell components; development of process control methods for ensuring quality at the atomic scale; mathematical modeling of continuum and/or stochastic behavior of cell components as well as entire systems including prediction of behavior at multiple scales; estimating unknown parameters, quantifying uncertainty, and linking the pieces to optimize an overall system.

Energy Conversion Based on N, P, and Other Nutrients 2
Recovery, conversion, and reuse of energy-dense/expensive molecules like N and P compounds have attracted increasing attention in the electrochemistry community as we increasingly need green energy carriers, and to address global nutrients and water/energy sustainability issues. Significant R&D effort is ongoing in the field to develop efficient
and safe processes for fuel and nutrient recovery. There is also a need for ongoing conversations in the scientific community around experimental techniques, controls, and methodology to ensure robust and accurate results in this emerging area. As such, a statement regarding controls is required in the abstract (e.g., argon controls, isotope labeling, and assessing NOX contaminants for electrochemical reduction of nitrogen to ammonia). In this symposium, the following topics are of interest:
(1) Using electrical energy to convert nitrogen-containing compounds into useful products.
(2) Using nitrogen-containing compounds as fuel which may also produce other useful byproducts.
(3) Electrochemically-driven nutrient recycling or recovery.
(4) Experimental techniques, controls and methodology to ensure rigorous evaluation of performance.

L07 Electrochemistry in Extreme Conditions
Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry Division; Energy Technology Division; Industrial Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering
This symposium highlights recent advances related to electrochemical studies under unusual, severe or extreme conditions that are less immediately implemented than conventional investigations. A wide range of topics is covered, with the ultimate goal to generate interdisciplinary discussions between participants and encourage the exchange of new ideas. High quality contributions are sought in areas of research referring to the application of non-traditional unique media as replacements for conventional solvents, electrochemistry in gas-phase, solid state electrochemistry, the development of systems operating in absence of supporting electrolytes, or to performance of the electrode/solution interface surviving drastic temperature changes (e.g., extremely dry or humid conditions). Submissions are encouraged on topics covering the development of robust (e.g., gas) electrochemical sensors operating under extreme conditions, electro-organic synthesis under seemingly harsh conditions imposed by the physical (pressure, radiation, and temperature) or extremes (oxygen levels, pH, and salinity). Comments on fundamental problems (e.g., reaction dynamics, structure of the double layer, etc.) as well as on technical obstacles related to properties of the working electrode material, preparation of its surface, availability of suitable reference electrodes, and the need for specially designed equipment and cells, would also be very useful. Reference to various areas of science and technology, such as photoelectrochemistry, bioelectrochemistry, electroanalysis, nanotechnology, biotechnology, and advanced materials seems to be crucial. Contributions may contain both theoretical and experimental work, and papers dealing with either area are considered. The symposium consists of invited and contributed papers.

L09 Fundamental Kinetics and Mechanisms in Environmental and Energy Relevant Reactions
Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry Division; Energy Technology Division
Many of the most environmentally relevant reactions involve simple molecules such as H2, CO2, CO, NH3, O2, N2, NOx, halides, SO2, and H2O. Despite the molecular simplicity, the reaction pathways are often inner sphere processes with concomitant adsorption further complicated by multielectron transfers and coupled chemical reactions. Yet, substantial Edisonian research is undertaken to develop catalysts and tailor reaction conditions for these processes. Fundamental appreciation of these critical, simple molecule reactions would better control adverse environmental impacts and facilitate production of materials critical in electrosynthesis and energy systems.
Papers relevant to all aspects of the fundamental kinetics and mechanisms at electrodes for these and similar simple molecules are sought. Developments and advances of theory, models, experiments, data analyses, and data compilations are relevant. New measurement methods are of interest. Approaches to sound kinetic theory distinct from long established but awkwardly applied theory are of interest. Notions of alternative processes, pathways, and catalysts that circumvent adsorbates and disadvantageous transition states are sought. Appropriate papers consider the specific chemical and physical properties of the reactants, products, electrodes, and catalysts involved in these electron transfer reactions.

Fundamentals of Lead
L10
Electrochemistry
Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry Division
The advantages and utility of lead metal in applications is often negated by its potential environmental ill effects and the misconception that it cannot be used safely. The purpose of this symposium is to bring attention to the contemporary advantageous use of lead in electrochemistry. Included in the presentations are subjects contributing to lead contamination mitigation.
With respect to the largest use of electrochemical lead utilization—the lead-acid battery—contributions dealing with various aspects of batteries, fundamental and applied with supporting fundamental discovery are included. This may be service-life limiting factors of present day batteries, fundamentals of methods testing capacity and self-discharge tests, of parameters in battery management systems necessary for correct field function.
Lead as a component of novel materials for electrodes as well as for components in energy related (e.g., perovskites) applications, as well as electroanalytical chemistry of lead and lead compounds, are also included. Among other issues are improvements that could increase energy density and enable power-grid storage applications. Atomic-scale insights into the processes that are taking place at electrodes should provide the path toward increased efficiency, lifetime, and capacity of lead-acid batteries.

A half century has passed since the Apollo 11 mission. This mission and the “successful failure” of Apollo 13 stimulated space science—and engineering itself—and nowadays dramatically drives ground energy conversion and storage technologies. In order to establish sustainable exploration and even the next giant leap—sending astronauts to Mars— NASA’s Artemis program recently started including surface sample return from the Mars 1 Phobos satellite. Also, it is reported that the first woman and next man may land on the Moon by 2024. Additionally, the Lunar Gateway, a space station to be placed in lunar orbit, will be constructed as a solar-powered communication hub. It will provide powerful instrumentations for planetary science, astrophysics, Earth observation, space biology, human health performance, and even a geological science laboratory combined with rover surface exploration. For humankind’s common peaceful interests and welfare, ambitious graduate students should accomplish such interdisciplinary space exploration.
Several past symposia (including “Electrochemistry in Space” at the 2019 236th ECS Meeting), ISRU (NASA’s In-Situ Resource Utilization), and the special 2020 ACS Earth and Space Chemistry issue, “Materials of the Universe: the Final Chemical Frontier”, focused on space exploration concepts, primarily led by the Space Agency. However, they were not geared to training graduate students for future space engineering using basic science. So far, Space Environmental Utilization Research has not been intensively covered. Our aim is to invite the ECS community, in collaboration with TMS’ Light Metal and Materials Processing Divisions, to lead such an interdisciplinary education and research program. The following research subjects on Space Energy and Resources must be newly stimulated to make, recognize, and support the field of Electrochemical/ Materials Processing:
(1) Basic Science with Drop Tower, Rocket, and ISS (i.e., Nucleation and Growth of Ice in Space, Gaseous Electrode Behavior);
(2) Microgravity Research like Protein or Semiconductor Crystallization;
(3) Energy Conversion and Storage System for Space Engineering (URFC, LIB, Nuclear Battery);
