Electrolytes & Interfaces in Li-ion Batteries and A02 Beyond Battery Division; Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry Division

Please

Solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) is essential for the existence and successful operation of lithium- and sodium-battery systems, as primary and secondary power sources since it determines its safety, power capability, morphology of alkaline metallic ion deposits, shelf-life, and cycle life. The SEI model, proposed by Peled in 1979, is still valid for all alkaline metals but continuously developed for well-adapted to each battery system in non-aqueous-battery electrolyte. Over many decades, the research has deeply explored the mechanism of SEI formation, structural properties, and composition in different batteries systems along with the design of advanced electrolytes to address the performance degradation and short cycle life related to the instability of interphases.

Recent research has revealed that the solvation structure of the electrolyte might have a significant impact on SEI features. This viewpoint serves as an additional perspective that supplements, rather than substitutes, conventional SEI theory.

This symposium aims to be a platform for battery scientists and researchers to discuss recent findings in exploring interfacial reactions and spark new ideas of electrolyte or interphase modification. The topics include, but are not limited to the development of advanced electrolytes and additives, interfaces/interphases engineering, and their modifications, advanced characterizations, and mechanistic studies.

From In Situ Experimentation to In-line Metrology: Characterization for Battery Science and A04 Advanced Manufacturing Battery Division; Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry Division Battery technology stands as a highly successful energy storage solution, playing a pivotal role in the global energy landscape. Various battery chemistries have been crafted to suit specific applications, each offering distinct advantages and challenges that demand meticulous consideration for an optimal balance in terms of performance, safety, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability. Regardless of the specific battery chemistry, these energy storage devices are often operated at non-equilibrium conditions.

Their performance is dependent on key kinetic processes such as mass conduction, charge transfer, interfacial nucleation and deposition, phase evolution, and morphological disintegration. Moreover, batteries are hierarchical systems with a high degree of chemical heterogeneities across a wide range of length and time scales. Therefore, battery research often necessitates the use of advanced in situ experimentation tools in different modalities for capturing the reaction dynamics involving metastable intermediate states.

Additionally, from the battery manufacturing standpoint, advanced characterization plays a pivotal role in controlling and optimizing the processes. The challenges associated with battery manufacturing are multifaceted, encompassing not only the intricacies of material design but also the scalability, reproducibility, and cost-effectiveness of the manufacturing processes. The battery manufacturing pipeline includes many precision processes, necessitating the development of efficient and broadly deployable methods to identify and address pain points in the manufacturing of battery materials and components.

The goal of this symposium is to establish a platform for experts across diverse disciplines to come together and share the latest advancements in in situ experimentation and in-line metrology within the realm of battery science and manufacturing. By doing so, the symposium contributes to the identification of outstanding research needs and grand challenges, particularly in connecting the intricate chemical reactions occurring at a small scale and manufacturing quality/imperfections to the overall system performance. The incorporation of innovative computational methods, such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, is strongly encouraged and welcomed.

Electrochemically Induced Deposition of Inorganic Organic Coatings E03 and Electrodeposition Division

Please

Electrochemical routes for deposition of functional materials have several known advantages in terms of control, selectivity, conformality, adherence to substrate, interfacial design, mild conditions, and tunable synthetic knobs. Electrochemical deposition usually deals with “direct” electrodeposition; i.e., the electron transfer at the electrode directly results in the deposition of species on this electrode. However, indirect or electrochemical induced deposition refers to the deposition of solid species on a surface, as the result of chemical reactions in the near surface region between a precursor present in the bulk solution and an electrochemically generated precursor, mediator, or catalyst near that surface. The chemical entity that undergoes electrochemical alteration to facilitate specific reactions near the working electrode surface has been termed “pro-based.”

The field of electrochemical-induced deposition has gained quite some interest over the last decade with many new material systems and processes, and newly suggested pro-bases and methodologies to tackle also coating properties such as morphology and composites. Together with the breadth of possibilities and applications, the science behind the process has also picked up speed, however, many open questions remain. The moving boundary problem of supersaturation into the solution phase for confined interfacial deposition is more complex than for direct electrodeposition and requires modeling and simulation. The fabrication of closed coatings by electrochemically induced deposition is not evident following the inherent flocculation nature of a precipitation reaction. Nucleation and growth studies which are commonplace in direct electrodeposition are of interest also for this indirect deposition mechanism.

This symposium invites all papers on the topic of electrochemical induced deposition, including deposition of oxides, hydroxides, phosphates, and other inorganic compounds, organic materials such as MOFs and COFs, biological materials; specifically, also papers in the field of electrochemically induced deposition of gels and templated solgel synthesis for the fabrication of mesoporous oxides and nanostructured materials, and compounds. The symposium also invites papers with specific applications for these materials and advances in manufacturing methods.

Electrodeposition of Difficult-to-Plate Metals and E04 Compounds Electrodeposition Division; Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry Division Electrodeposition is a facile method for fabricating materials, and thus finds many applications. From energy storage to semiconductors, and from batteries to corrosion protection, the applications of electrodeposition are boundless. But these applications continually require innovations in the array of materials that electrodeposition can effectively fabricate. In this context, electrodeposition faces numerous hurdles that must be overcome.

Controlling materials properties (composition, texture, crystallinity, thickness and thickness distribution, adhesion, surface morphology, etc.) and processing attributes (bath stability, parasitic reactions, etc.) is challenging especially when developing electrodeposition processes for new and emerging applications. This symposium invites contributions detailing efforts to conquer such issues through a variety of approaches including, but not limited to: 1) Electrolyte design for compositional control in deposition; 2) Epitaxial approaches including e-ALD and e-ALE for morphological control; 3) Novel cell designs for controlling current distributions in electrodeposition; 4) New additives-assisted processes leveraging surface phenomena including adsorption, wetting, and potential-dependent behavior; 5) Problems specific to electrodeposition in non-aqueous media including ionic liquids, organic solvents, and deep eutectic solvents; 6) Electrodeposition in high-temperature molten salt electrolysis systems; 7) Modeling-based approaches to design processes for difficult-toplate metals, including first-principles theory and continuum-based approaches; 8) Controlling parasitic reactions during electrodeposition, including the effects of pH change during growth; 9) Instabilities in growth behavior including formation and suppression of dendrites; 10) Electrolyte bath instabilities and efforts to monitor and control bath stability; 11) New alloys and compounds possible via electrodeposition, and applications they may enable; 12) New developments to enable in situ and in operando monitoring of electrodeposition; 13) Challenges in primary extractive electrometallurgy of metals such as iron for future sustainability and decarbonization in metals production.

Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells and Water Electrolyzers 25 (PEFC&WE 25) Energy Technology Division; Industrial Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering Division; Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry Division

Polymer electrolyte fuel cells and water electrolyzers (PEFC&WEs) are key technologies for decarbonization. The intention of the PEFC&WE symposium is to bring together the international community working on low temperature polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells and PEM, alkaline exchange membrane (AEM) and liquid alkaline water electrolysis technologies to enable effective interactions between their research and engineering communities. To maximize the synergies between these fuel cells and electrolyzer technologies, the symposium is structured as seven complimentary sections covering (A) fuel cell catalysts; (B) electrolysis catalysts; (C) fuel cell and electrolyzer ionomers, membranes and separators; (D) fuel cell electrodes; (E) water electrolysis electrodes; (F) fuel cell and electrolyzer cells, stacks and systems; and (Z) a fullday plenary session on leading technologies. Abstracts are considered for other PEM-based electrochemical devices like electrochemical hydrogen pumps, but exclude CO2 electrochemical reduction, high temperature (solid oxide) electrolysis, and photochemical water splitting, which are covered by other symposia.

PEFC&WE25 supports students and postdoctoral participation and encourages the development of new and talented researchers in the field.

We expect that approximately 10 Student/Postdoc Travel Grants will be awarded for PEFC&WE25 to encourage broad participation of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows new to the topic research areas. Eligible students are sent an application for the PEFC&WE25 travel award in June 2025. Awards are based on the quality of the applicant’s ECS abstract and their resume. Additionally, there is a student poster contest with cash awards for posters of the best technical and visual quality, as selected by a technical panel at the meeting. Students who have submitted abstracts to the PEFC&WE25 symposium are contacted by Professor Iryna Zenyuk (iryna.zenyuk@uci.edu) in June 2025 to enter the contest.

Interfacial Analysis for Energy Storage and

L08 Conversion Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry Division; Battery Division; Energy Technology Division

For electrochemical systems such as batteries, (pseudo-) capacitors, fuel cells, and other emerging storage and conversion devices, the gas/solid, liquid/solid, and solid/solid interfaces are critical nexuses where many important physical and chemical processes take place. Analysis of such interfacial processes provides critical information for materials design and operational improvements for numerous electrochemical storage and conversion systems. Examining the methodology used for the diagnosis of interfacial (heterogeneous) charge transfer processes is also key to understanding the involved chemistries. This symposium seeks oral and poster presentations on advanced methodology, and research frontiers on interfacial analysis. Addressing the pressing opportunities and challenges in these directions will help bridge expertise in academic research into industrial electrochemical processes. The technologies and topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 1) Control of electrochemical deposition for energy storage applications; 2) Single crystal, thin film, and substrate-supported model systems for probing interfaces and interphases; 3) Interfacial electrochemistry-induced phase transformations and degradation processes in battery, capacitor, and other related devices; 4) Fundamental experimental and theoretical investigations of electrode/electrolyte interfaces (e.g., solid/liquid, and solid/solid) for energy storage and electrocatalysis; 5) Analytical, in situ, and operando characterizations of electrochemical interfacial processes, including those on buried interphases.

Redox flow batteries have been recognized as an important perspective technology for stationary energy storage, including grid-scale energy storage, thanks to their high power performance, flexible design, and ease of scaling up. The present state of the art is mostly represented by allvanadium redox flow batteries, even though many inorganic and organic electroactive systems have recently been proposed as alternatives. In all-liquid systems, the active species are dissolved in solvents; but the hybrid systems, in which the active species exist in distinct phases (e.g., liquid, solid or gas), can operate in three subcategories: solid/liquid, semi-solid, and liquid/gas. Mechanisms of operation and approaches to the optimization of their performance obviously differ. There is a need to develop or identify robust organic, inorganic or hybrid compounds that could function as reversible redox species in a rechargeable battery under flow conditions. Special attention shall be paid to synthesis, modification, characterization, and deep understanding of the operation of novel redox active compounds of potential utility to redox flow rechargeable batteries.

The symposium includes invited presentations, reviews, tutorial papers, and contributed papers. Papers are solicited on the fundamental and applied aspects of redox flow batteries for energy storage. Of particular interest are new materials and designs, new anolytes and catholytes, performance studies, and modeling of all types of redox flow batteries, including aqueous and non-aqueous systems. This symposium brings together researchers working in different areas of fundamental physical and analytical electrochemistry as well as electrochemical science and technology. Both experimental and theoretical papers are welcomed in an effort to forge a stronger link between the experiential parameters and resulting properties of systems of interest to the area.

Electrochemistry of Lanthanides and Actinides

L09 Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry Division

Lanthanides are uniquely useful in advanced technologies and materials.

Physiochemically similar in many ways, differences in the population of 4f 6s electrons establish unique magnetic, photochemical, and catalytic properties. Lanthanides are critical materials [1]. Actinides are radioactive elements important in nuclear energy and medicine. Lanthanides and actinides have a range of oxidation states and bind ligands. Both are subject to voltammetric inspection, where electrochemistry can induce changes in electron population and oxidation state and SO properties.

Electrochemistry can affect separations of lanthanides from lanthanides, and lanthanides from actinides. Separations of lanthanides from lanthanides are challenging but important to further development and refinement of advanced technologies and materials. Efficient separation of lanthanides from actinides mitigates hazards in long term storage of spent nuclear fuel and facilitates nuclear medicine.

Papers addressing any aspect of electrochemistry and voltammetry of lanthanides and actinides are sought. This includes materials, technologies, separations, and corrosion. Work in unusual media and under unusual conditions, as well as characterization methods, are of interest.

Characterization of novel rare earth complexes of academic interest and as catalysts are solicited. Presentations on advances and challenges in materials, technologies, medicine, and catalysis are encouraged.

Fundamental advances in kinetics and equilibrium are welcomed. The symposium provides an opportunity for those with expertise in rare earths and those with electrochemical competence to interact and promote electrochemistry of lanthanides and actinides.

The first iteration of this symposium was comprised of 50 oral presentations over two days at the 243rd ECS Meeting in Boston, MA. It attracted great interest, especially among early career researchers. With the increasing number of ambitious and exciting missions proposed by space agencies around the world including NASA, ESA, ISRO, and JAXA, the time is right to hold the second symposium in this series. Projects such as Artemis (human lunar return by 2030 and sustained lunar presence by 2040), the Lunar Gateway (a space station to be placed in lunar orbit as a solar-powered communication hub), and even the next giant leap, sending astronauts to Mars, are catching the public imagination. They will lead to major advances in planetary science, astrophysics, Earth observation, space biology, and human health. They will also provide challenges for electrochemical science. Interdisciplinary space exploration will be accomplished by ambitious graduate students for the common peaceful interests of all humankind.

Themes for the symposium include, but are not restricted to: 1) Electrochemical/materials processing in the space environment through collaboration with space agencies of various countries; 2) Mineral and materials processing for in situ resources utilization;

3) 3D electrochemical/materials processing for space energy systems, optical telecommunication devices, as well as transportation vehicles with carbon composite materials; 4) Ultra-low-orbital satellite observation for agriculture and freshwater exploration; 5) Heterogeneous interface phenomena under extreme environments such as microgravity environments or ultra-strong magnetic and radiation fields. Nucleation and growth processes, interfacial wettability phenomena, and surfactant effects are of special interest; 6) Ground-based negative carbon-oriented basic research that can be extended to lunar/Mars bases 20 to 50 years from now.

The invention of the STM and AFM in the 1980s revolutionized surface science and opened up new avenues of exploration and innovation in nanotechnology. The ability of these tools to reveal local, atomic insights into surface structure and reactivity is unparalleled; however, the full potential and possible applications of electrochemical scanning probe microscopy (ECSPM) techniques, like STM, AFM, SECM, SICM, SECCM, TERS, and others, have yet to be fully explored. One reason for this is the complexity of combining electrochemistry with SPM, which typically results in setups that are even more difficult to handle and operate than standard SPMs. Furthermore, the underdeveloped knowledge and ability to control the state and evolution of the probe tip remains an additional significant barrier to progress in both experiment and image simulation. Likewise, routine operation with high spatial-temporal resolution, as well as effective analysis of large data flows, remains a challenging enterprise. Nevertheless, the richness of quantifiable signals from the electrochemical environment that can be used as feedback or detection signals in SPM continue to offer intriguing possibilities. The development of hybrid methods that couple local SPM measurements with other spectroscopic tools, like TERS and XAS, have also advanced substantially in recent years and look to grow in importance.

This interdisciplinary symposium aims to capture the state-of-theart science produced by existing electrochemical SPM tools, while also discussing, exploring, and imagining new possible ways to gather electrochemical and structure information using improved instrumental resolution at the mesoscale and in particular, atomic scale dimensions.

Contributions that provide atomic insights into the surface structure, interface dynamics, electrochemical double layer, reaction mechanisms, and associated electrochemical reactivity are most welcome. This includes applications ranging from nucleation and growth phenomena such as electroplating, etching and dissolution, oxidation, intercalation, conversion battery reactions, to site specific electrocatalytic reactions such as HER, OER, CO2RR, and more generally, SPM studies of the structure, formation and operation of functionalized surfaces that mediated electron and ion transfer reactions writ large. At the same time, emergent nanotechnological applications exploring the use of ECSPM methods for both mesoscale and atomically resolved surface modification and material synthesis are also of growing interest and importance.

The symposium includes a series of invited lectures that provide an overview of the insights achieved using state-of-the-art SPM technology and provide an outlook on promising and exciting future research

directions. In addition to new experimental discoveries in physical chemistry, the symposium discusses the latest theoretical science developments and application of modern computational methods that enlighten the understanding and quantification of atomic details, and guide additionally future experimental work. Accordingly, we encourage contributions from researchers across the broad electrochemical and surface science community who work with ECSPM methods or theory to reveal atomistic and molecular insight into important and emergent issues in electrochemical science and technology.
