Meeting Information General Information The 233rd ECS Meeting will be held in Seattle, Washington, USA, May 13-17, 2018 at the Seattle Sheraton and Washington State Convention Center. This international conference will bring together scientists, engineers, and researchers from academia, industry, and government laboratories to share results and discuss issues on related topics through a variety of formats, such as oral presentations, poster sessions, panel discussions, tutorial sessions, short courses, professional development workshops, a career fair, and exhibits. The unique blend of electrochemical and solid state science and technology at an ECS Meeting provides an opportunity and forum to learn and exchange information on the latest scientific and technical developments in a variety of interdisciplinary areas.
Although there is no hard deadline for the submission of these papers, it is considered that six months from the date of the symposium is sufficient time to revise a paper to meet the stricter criteria of the journals. Author instructions are available from the ECS website.
Abstract Submission To give an oral or poster presentation at the 233rd ECS Meeting, you must submit an original meeting abstract for consideration via the ECS website, https://ecs.confex.com/ecs/233/cfp.cgi no later than November 17, 2017. Faxed, e-mailed, and/or late abstracts will not be accepted. Meeting abstracts should explicitly state objectives, new results, and conclusions or significance of the work. Once the submission deadline has passed, the symposium organizers will evaluate all abstracts for content and relevance to the symposium topic, and will schedule all acceptable submissions as either oral or poster presentations. In January 2018, letters of acceptance/invitation will be sent via email to the corresponding author of all accepted abstracts, notifying them of the date, time, and location of their presentation. Regardless of whether you requested a poster or an oral presentation, it is the symposium organizers’ discretion to decide how and when it is scheduled.
Technical Exhibit The 233rd ECS Meeting will include a Technical Exhibit, featuring presentations and displays by dozens of manufacturers of instruments, materials, systems, publications, and software of interest to meeting attendees. Coffee breaks are scheduled in the exhibit hall along with evening poster sessions. Interested in exhibiting at the meeting with your company? Exhibitor opportunities include unparalleled benefits and provide an extraordinary chance to present your scientific products and services to key constituents from around the world. Exhibit opportunities can be combined with sponsorship items and are customized to suit your needs. Please contact Ashley Moran at 1.609.737.1902, ext. 121 for further details.

Quality Publications
ECS Author Choice Open Access gives you the opportunity to make your papers freely available to any scientist (or anyone, for that matter) with an Internet connection, increasing your pool of potential readers. Papers not published as Open Access can only be read by those from a subscribing institution or those who are willing to pay a fee to access it.
Our two peer-reviewed titles are among the most highly-regarded, highly-cited, and highly-ranked in their areas. Choosing to make your paper Open Access within these journals makes no difference to the quality processes we uphold at ECS—selection criteria and peer review remain exactly the same. ECS publications have always focused on maintaining the highest standards of peer review, and we will continue to maintain these practices for all manuscript submissions.

Free the Science, Save the World
When publishing Open Access the copyright remains with the author.
4
The author selects one of two Creative Commons (CC) usage licenses defining how the article may be used by the general public.
4
CC BY license is the most liberal allowing for unrestricted reuse of content, subject only to the requirement that the source work is appropriately attributed.
4
CC BY-NC-ND license is more similar to the current usage rights under the transfer of copyright agreement: it limits use to noncommercial use (NC), and restricts others from creating derivative works(ND).
Keep Your Copyright ECS’s Open Access publishing agreement with authors does not require a transfer of copyright: the copyright remains with the author. Authors, however, must choose what kind of license they want to grant their readers. ECS offers a choice of two Creative Commons usage licenses that authors may attach to their work (see sidebar).
Article Credits You can publish your papers as Open Access for FREE if you have an Article Credit. ECS members receive one complimentary article credit per year. Authors coming from institutions with an ECS Plus subscription qualify for unlimited article credits. For members who have already used their article credit, we offer a discounted Article Processing Charge (APC) of $200 per article (that’s 75% off our already low rate—$800).
Electrochemistry and solid state science have never been more important to global health and sustainability. Our community is making key discoveries in renewable energy, medical technology, and more. Such important discoveries need maximum discoverability. Author Choice Open Access is a good start, but ultimately we hope to open access to our entire Digital Library without charging any publication or subscription fees. We’ve launched the Free the Science initiative to make this vision a reality.

Materials Recycling for Energy Conversion and Storage Battery Division, Energy Technology Division, Industrial Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering Division
Every year, waste from billions of small and large primary and secondary batteries, over a wide range of chemistries, makes its way into landfills across the world. In primary batteries, active materials are mostly depleted and the desire for collection and recycle is driven by environmental factors. Secondary batteries may retain as much as 80% of their useful capacity, and it can be advantageous to recover this material to use as a feedstock for new cells. In energy conversion devices, like fuel cells and electrolyzers, very high cost electrode and electrolyte materials are used, and collection and reuse has the potential to significantly reduce lifetime costs. The issue of recycling is already an important one, and the need for solutions in this area will only be amplified as vehicle electrification increases The variety of possible chemistries and form factors complicates both reuse and recycling. Existing recycling approaches are expensive and only recover a subset of metals, polymers, and support materials. In some instances, it will be desirable to capture valuable intact components. In others, processing and extraction of active and spent materials from socalled “black mass” will be fruitful. This symposium will focus on both fundamental and applied aspects of active and inactive material recycling in commercial electrochemical cells including both primary and secondary batteries as well as fuel cells and electrolyzers. Abstracts that focus on new processes or chemistries, low-cost methods to assess suitability for reuse, as well as economic, regulatory, safety, or institutional issues impacting reuse and recycling are encouraged.

Engineering Carbon Hybrids – Carbon Electronics 3 Dielectric Science and Technology Division, Battery Division, Electronics and Photonics Division, Nanocarbons Division, Sensor Division
This symposium brings together a new community of carbon experts that does not see carbon-nanotubes or fullerenes in isolation but considers the construction of 3D carbon devices integrating one, two or more carbon allotropes as the application might demand. We are looking at Carbon in a holistic way in which different carbon allotropes, manufactured by different methods, are combined with each other in hybrid carbon functional devices. Carbon, in many respects, is starting to challenge Si as the most important technological material. Besides the prominence of fullerenes, graphite, graphene and carbon nano tubes, glassy carbon 3D MEMS and NEMS-like devices are now being made by patterning polymeric precursors and carbonizing them. Other carbon allotropes like diamond, diamond–like carbon and amorphous carbon also are being studied intensively, allotrope by allotrope. Thus the carbon allotropes, and most importantly the interfaces between them, have to be mastered to make the best devices in a number of applications such as batteries, fuel cells, MOS electronics, lab-on-a-chip, high speed switches and sensors, to name a few. This symposium welcomes innovative work and insights on the modeling, analysis, fabrication and applications of functional hybrid carbon structures and devices. An enhanced edition of ECS Transactions is planned to be available at the meeting. All authors accepted for presentation are obligated to submit their full text manuscript for the issue no later than February 16, 2018.

cations, upd metal species, and/or molecules on the production of metal and semiconductor films and particles has been widely reported. Taking advantage of this diverse background we will explore several questions of common interest such as: (1) What is the nature of the relationship between adsorbate structure and the evolution of particle shape or facet geometry during deposition and dissolution? (2) What is the extent of rate differentiation accessible by using different surfactants? (3) How much anisotropy can be induced in electrocrystallization reactions by using different adsorbates? (4) How do changes in potential and related perturbations affect adsorbate structure and thereby film and particle growth dynamics? (5) How is particle growth influenced by the choice of reducing agent and surfactant(s), and how does this compare to electrolytic growth at comparable potentials? (6)How does the rate of deposition and stripping affect the morphology of thin films (7) How is roughness evolution influenced by surfactants? (8) How effectively do surfactants remain segregated at growing interfaces? (9) Why do some surfactants or additives lead to the breakdown of epitaxial growth and how are they incorporated in the growing solid? (10) How do surfactants influence the deposition of alloys and compounds? (11) How can surfactants be used to influence the growth of deposits with graded multiscale porosity? (12) Can dendritic growth be tamed by additives? New approaches and measurements related to the study of surfactant and additive effects are also of interest.

Multiscale Modeling, Simulation and Design –
Conventional Methods to the Latest F02 From in Data Science
Industrial Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering Division, Energy Technology Division
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 time-scales. New engineering approaches are needed that couple traditional current-and potentialdistribution 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 engineering in addressing future technology challenges. Topics include: (1.) experimental and theoretical methods for understanding and describing behavior in electrochemical systems at the molecular level; (2.) new engineering methods and simulation algorithms with improved computational efficiency and quantification of uncertainty that enable coupling to molecular-scale processes for the design, control and optimization of entire, realistic systems, including those where stochastic events influence quality; (3.) fast, robust, dataenabled simulation for the control and design of processes and products; (4.) use of molecular understanding, design and/or control, in conjunction with models and data, to address 21st century electrochemical engineering applications such as NEMS, MEMS, and electronic device fabrication; systems and materials for stationary power (from photovoltaic systems and fuel cells to energy storage devices and hydrogen generation); power systems for transportation; electrochemically enabled devices, systems, and products for medical technology; and corrosion systems, among many others. Both fundamental and applied papers that address the symposium topics are encouraged. The symposium may also include a few invited speakers who will give historical and future perspectives of the underlying science in various fields and its anticipated implementation in technology.

High Rate Metal Dissolution Processes 3 Industrial Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering Division
High rate metal dissolution processes are widely employed in the aerospace, medical, energy, automotive, electronics and other industries for manufacturing operations ranging from machining and shaping of large parts to micro fabrication of complicated features for small devices. These processes include electrochemical polishing, electrochemical through-mask etching, chemical through-mask etching, electrochemical deburring, electrochemical radiusing and electrochemical machining. Due to the non-contact nature of these processes, the metal surfaces are not subjected to mechanical and/or thermal damage. Consequently, these processes will continue to play an ever increasing role in surface finishing of advanced metallic components with complex geometries. In addition to invited contributions, contributions are solicited in the areas of 1) Electrodissolution Fundamentals, 2) Localized Dissolution, 3) Chemical Etching, 4) Microfabrication, Machining, Finishing and 5) Environmental Issues, Electrolyte Maintenance, Recovery of Metals and Minimization of Water Usage.

Electrochemical Engineering: Integration of Distributed Energy Systems Industrial Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering Division, Energy Technology Division
Electrochemical energy storage systems can be readily sized to meet the electrical needs for a variety of applications, from residential to commercial to grid scale. However, the energy and power requirements change for each application. For example, commercial peak shaving applications may benefit from high power/low energy solutions, while load shifting at the grid scale will benefit from systems with high energy for longer-duration loads. Papers are requested that address the challenges facing electrochemical energy conversion systems at scales suitable for distributed energy storage (i.e. up to 50 kWh for residential, or up to 1MWh for commercial applications). Applications could include standalone distributed energy systems for micro-grids, or integrated storage with existing energy systems. Topics could include technical barriers to system development, issues related to durability for different load profiles, or policy discussions related to adoption of electrochemical energy storage systems.

Electrosynthesis of Fuels 5 Industrial Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering Division, Energy Technology Division, High Temperature Materials Division, Organic and Biological Electrochemistry Division, Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry Division
Sustainable economic growth and high quality of life require an abundant supply of clean and affordable energy. Future energy sources include solar, wind, and nuclear energy - all of which can produce electricity as the primary form of energy. The conversion of this electrical energy to fuels (e.g. hydrocarbon or hydrogen), using common chemicals such as carbon dioxide and water through electrochemical processes, provides an opportunity to remove the temporal variation in the energy supply from solar and wind energy. Electrochemical processes for fuel synthesis may involve protons, hydroxide, oxide or other ions. This symposium will provide an international forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest developments on electrochemical production of fuels and

Oxygen or Hydrogen Evolution Catalysis for Water Electrolysis 4 Energy Technology Division, Industrial Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering Division, Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry Division
Water electrolysis represents a clean and sustainable approach to producing hydrogen. However, the cost of hydrogen production from this process is still prohibitive due to significant electricity consumption and materials cost. High-efficient electrocatalysts for either oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) may enable to lower the over-potential of electrochemical reactions so as to improve the overall energy efficiency of water electrolysis. The development of advanced catalysts may also help to reduce the loading of precious metal catalysts or to replace them with non-precious metal catalysts. This Symposium seeks novel or advanced water electrolysis catalysts that include but are not limited to the following categories: 1) catalyst supports with extremely high corrosion resistance (>1.5V vs. SHE); 2) OER catalysts for proton exchange membrane (PEM) based electrolysis; 3) OER catalysts for anion exchange membrane (AEM) based electrolysis; 3) HER catalysts for AEM electrolysis; 4) bi-functional ORR/OER catalysts; 5) bi-functional HOR/ HER catalysts; 6) electrolysis catalyst degradation studies; 7) electrolysis catalyst modeling; 8) electrocatalysts for artificial photosynthesis or photo-electrochemical cells; 9) others.

Sensors, Actuators, and Microsystems General Session Sensor Division
This symposium will address all aspects of chemical and biological sensors, actuators and microsystems. A companion symposium concerning the corresponding aspects of physical sensors and actuators may be found under Topic S. Chemical and biological sensors find extensive application in environmental monitoring, health care, food security and industrial quality assurance, safety and process control. Sensors and actuators are often integrated into “smart” microsystems: microfabricated sensors and/or actuators combined with electronics which enable, for example, signal conditioning and data processing. The need for multifunctional, smart technologies, which depend on sensors, actuators and electronics, is expected to increase in coming years as further demands and expectations are placed on systems and devices. This general session welcomes papers on all aspects of chemical and biological sensors, actuators and microsystems not covered in other sessions. This symposium intends to bring together a range of interdisciplinary topics and covers all materials aspects of sensors, actuators and microsystems. Primary emphasis will be placed upon applied aspects of the materials, synthesis, evaluation and development strategies of novel materials/ device configurations for sensing and actuating functions as well as integrated microsystems. Papers are solicited in, but not limited to, the following areas: (1.) physics and chemistry of sensor and actuator materials, fabrication, and characterization of novel compositions; (2.) novel sensor and actuator concepts, design, modeling, and verification,

Microfluidics, Sensors, and Devices 2 Sensor Division, Nanocarbons Division
This symposium will specifically focus on the underlying electrochemical, chemical and physical principles related to the microfluidics, micro electro mechanical and nano electro mechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS), sensors and integrated sensing devices. The focus on aspects of micro/nanomachining, fabrication processes, or packaging will be de-emphasized. Instead, the operation-critical phenomena and physical properties, especially as they begin to deviate in principle upon device miniaturization from the constructs of classical physical and conventional chemistry will be the focus of this symposium. The contributions are sought on aspects of analyte detection, sample introduction, sample transport, in situ device validation, and fabrication, encapsulation and packaging, in cases where the phenomena arising from miniaturization become germane. A standard issue of ECS Transactions is planned for this symposium. All authors accepted for presentation are encouraged to submit their full text manuscript for the issue no later than May 27, 2018.
