The Electrochemical Society hosted “Development and Application of a 3-Electrode Setup for the Operando Detection of Side Reactions in Li-Ion Batteries,” a live webinar by Lennart Reuter and Leonhard J. Reinschlüssel (Technische Universität München), on August 6, 2025. A live Question and Answer session followed. Answers to some of the questions not addressed during the broadcast follow.
Registration is required to view the webinar replay.
The Electrochemical Society (ECS) proudly celebrates the continued success of “Origin and Innovations of CMP Slurry” by Dr. Hitoshi Morinaga, published in the ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology (JSS) as part of the Focus Collection, “Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP): Past, Present, and Future in Honor of S. V. Babu” (DOI: 10.1149/2162-8777/ad5fb6).
Since its publication just over a year ago, Dr. Morinaga’s article has remained on JSS’s most-read list, earning over 6,000 downloads and seven Web of Science citations. A dedicated ECS member since 1999, and an active contributor to the ECS Electronics and Photonics Division and ECS Japan Section, Dr. Morinaga’s work reflects both technical excellence and deep engagement with our community.

We’re thrilled to recognize one of the top-read articles in the Journal of The Electrochemical Society (JES): “Changes in Structure and Ionic Resistance of Lithium-Ion Battery Graphite Electrodes – Part I: Impact of Formation and SEI” by Jonas L. S. Dickmanns, Lennart Reuter, Robert Morasch, Filippo Maglia, Roland Jung, and Hubert A. Gasteiger.
This study dives into the structural evolution of graphite electrodes during the formation process of lithium-ion batteries—particularly the development of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). The authors provide a detailed, quantitative understanding of how this formation process impacts porosity, tortuosity, and thickness, ultimately increasing ionic resistance by up to 25 percent. These findings are essential for researchers and engineers seeking to design batteries that are not only more energy-dense, but also more efficient and durable. (more…)

Each year, the ECS Canada Section recognizes a deserving PhD student from a Canadian university for academic achievements in our multi-disciplinary fields though the Canada Section Student Award. The award was established in 1987 to recognize promising young engineers and scientists and to promote careers in electrochemistry and solid state science and technology. Recipients receive a USD $1,500 prize. (more…)
ECS Sensors Plus is publishing a focus issue in connection with the IMCS 2025 International Meeting on Chemical Sensors which took place in Freiburg, Germany, from June 22 – June 26, 2025.
This conference series’ roots go back to its inception in 1983 in Fukuoka, Japan. It has evolved with biennial meetings now held around the world. IMCS 2025 promises an unparalleled international platform for researchers, scientists, and industry experts to share insights, exchange knowledge, and push the boundaries of chemical sensing technology, from the latest advancements in chemical- and biosensors, to innovations in materials science.
The ECS Sensor Division and ECS Sensors Plus invite researchers to submit articles on all topical interest areas to the ECSSP: Focus Issue on the 20th International Meeting on Chemical Sensors (IMCS-25). For more on scope and topical interest areas, go to: About the journal – ECS Sensors Plus – IOPscience. (more…)
