<h4 class="expand">A04 - Advanced Characterization Techniques in Battery Research<span class="arrow"></span></h4>
<div class="collapse submission"> Over the last decades, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have successfully been adopted for powering electrical vehicles (EVs). However, to meet the challenges of further replacing the combustion engine vehicle with
EVs, advanced LIBs or next-generation batteries with high energy, fast charging, low cost, better safety, and long cycle life must be developed.<p></p>
<p>To overcome technical challenges, an in-depth understanding of the structural changes of the cathode and anode materials in bulk and at the surface, the interactions between the electrode material and the electrolyte, the formation and
functionality of the electrode/ electrolyte interface (SEI and CEI) on the anode and cathode, and the effects of the additives and the surface coatings are critically important. Since those remaining challenges are complicated, none of the
single characterization tools can provide a clear answer, and it usually requires multiple strategies to provide comprehensive information in multi-modal/multi-scale approaches. In such circumstances in current battery research, the development
and application of advanced characterization techniques are becoming increasingly important.</p>
<p>This symposium aims to be a platform for battery scientists and researchers to discuss recent advances in characterization techniques and share new ideas from them. The topics include, but are not limited to:</p>
<p>• In situ/operando synchrotron-based X-ray techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), pair-distribution function (PDF), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), scanning/transmission X-ray microscopy to study fundamental reaction and degradation
mechanisms of battery materials and interfaces/interphases;</p>
<p>• Surface-sensitive techniques such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), time-of-flight scanning ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), X-ray photoemission electron
microscopy (XPEEM) to study interface issues in LIBs and next-generation batteries;</p>
<p>• In situ TEM and 4D-STEM investigation on LIBs and next-generation batteries;</p>
<p>• Multi-modal/multi-scale approaches with combinations of multiple techniques to solve challenging issues in advanced LIBs and next-generation batteries. </p>

<h4 class="expand">E02 - Electrochemical Science and Technology: Challenges and Opportunities in the Path from Invention to Product<span class="arrow"></span></h4>
<div class="collapse submission"> The path from discovery, invention, and scientific understanding to well-engineered products and processes is complex and involves 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 of molecular mechanisms, tailoring new materials, and integrating data over a wide
range of scales 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.<p></p>
<p>The goal of this symposium is to draw together the collective interests of scientists and engineers involved in electrochemical education and skilled in moving along the path from ideas to profits, who articulate the best practices leading
from invention to a technologically and commercially successful product. This path is only possible by also emphasizing transformative educational opportunities and defining challenges to equip students and practitioners with the skills and
perspectives emerging from these activities. The reduction to routine use of the approaches discussed here will define essential engineering methods for emerging electrochemical applications for which increased predictability is of high
importance.</p>
<p>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, perhaps at 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 insuring 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.

devices involves common research themes such as ion transport, interfacial phenomena, and device design and performance, regardless of the class of materials or whether the solid state is amorphous or crystalline. The intent of this international
symposia series is to provide a forum for recent advances in solid state ion-conducting materials and the design, fabrication, and performance of devices that utilize them. Papers are solicited on all aspects of solid state ionic devices such as
solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs), solid state batteries and microbatteries, chemical sensors, supercapacitors, ion transport membranes, thermal energy converters, and electrochromic devices. Specific topics
include device design and performance, modeling and characterization of defect equilibria; ionic and electronic transport; heterogeneous electrocatalysis at electrode surfaces and interfaces; novel synthesis and processing; and materials
characterization and structural and crystallographic investigations. <div class="deadline"><b>Deadline for New Submissions:</b> Friday, April 12, 2024</div>

<h4 class="expand">I03 - Seawater Electrodialysis and Electrolysis for Water-Energy Nexus<span class="arrow"></span></h4>
<div class="collapse submission"> Seawater electrolysis is environmentally friendly and is gaining attention as an alternative to traditional ocean energy sources. It can contribute to mitigating problems such as air pollution and ocean
acidification. In addition, seawater electrolysis technology can help reduce the cost of hydrogen production. Seawater electrolysis is often preferred over freshwater electrolysis due to resource abundance and sustainability. However, seawater
electrolysis requires more energy input than freshwater electrolysis due to the higher concentration of salt in seawater. Additionally, the high salt content of seawater can lead to corrosion and other maintenance issues, which can increase the
cost of seawater electrolysis systems. In this regard, an electrodialysis (desalination) process is often combined with seawater electrolysis. Another important application of seawater electrodialysis is in the production of chemicals and other
materials. Seawater contains a variety of minerals and ions that can be extracted and used for a range of industrial processes. Electrodialysis can be used to separate these ions and minerals from seawater, allowing them to be used in a
cost-effective and environmentally sustainable way. This symposium focuses on electrochemical ion separation including electrodialysis and capacitive deionization, electrochemical chlorination and aquatic chlorine chemistry, and selective
electrolysis (oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions) of saline water and seawater. <p></p>
<p>Papers are solicited on the following topics, but are not limited to:</p>
<p>1) Synthesis of anodes and cathodes including dimensionally stable electrodes, mixed metal oxides, carbon-based electrodes, boron-doped diamond electrodes;</p>
<p>2) Electrochemical ion separation processes of saline water for water-energy nexus;</p>
<p>3) Selective oxidation between chloride and water;</p>
<p>4) Ammonia synthesis and electrolysis;</p>
<p>5) Scaling-free or inhibitive cathodes for hydrogen evolution reaction;</p>
<p>6) Electrochemical redox reactions for production of value-added chemicals. </p>

<h4 class="expand">L06 - Electrocatalysis at the Interface: From Fundamental Studies to Applications<span class="arrow"></span></h4>
<div class="collapse submission"> Electrocatalysis has over the last years transformed our energy landscape from a carbon-based to a sustainable society. Unfortunately, until today, electrochemical energy devices suffer from performance or
selectivity issues which have been increasingly approached from a material and engineering perspective. At the same time, an increasing number of studies have reported the importance of tuning the chemical and physical characteristics of
electrode-electrolyte interfaces. These are characterized by the formation of an electric double layer (EDL) at which all electrochemical processes take place. Our increased understanding about the EDL has led to macroscopic cell design concepts,
such as the use of ionomers to increase the density of cations close to the electrode. Despite the significance of the EDL, many questions remain, as our knowledge in large part remains based on models with unverified assumptions. In addition,
electrochemical reactions under confinement in nano-sized dimensions and their physicochemical characteristics are extensively studied due to their potential importance for various electrochemical energy systems.<p></p>
<p>The objective of this symposium is to bring together scientists and engineers whose goal is to increase our fundamental knowledge of the EDL and electrochemical reactivity under nano-confined conditions which link to electrocatalytic
performance (activity/selectivity/stability) using state-of-the-art experimental and computational techniques. This symposium is seen as a platform for deep discussion of the connection between fundamental understanding and application in real
systems. This comprises, for example, the effect of cations, anions, water structure, hydrodynamic and nanoscale phenomena, or design principles of electrocatalysis and its interface based on activity, stability, and selectivity. The organizers
invite contributions on, but not limited to the following topics:</p>
<p>• Fundamental understanding of the EDL and its functional link to electrocatalysis, as well as the coupling of its structure to the kinetics of electrochemical processes via both experiments and simulations;</p>
<p>• Computational simulations of interest include continuum as well as explicit atomistic representations of the electrolyte. Recently, fully atomistic descriptions of the electrolyte have become increasingly feasible and of particular interest.
Force-field based descriptions are interesting as well as the application of cutting-edge machine learning tools;</p>
<p>• Advanced characterization techniques that shed new light on the interfacial chemistry and structures, with emphasis placed on new in situ/operando tools, probes and methods aiming to measure the dynamic processes at the electrochemical
interfaces;</p>
<p>• Fundamental understanding of electrochemistry under the nanoconfinement via both experiments and simulations. </p>

A04 - ADVANCED CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES IN BATTERY RESEARCH
Over the last decades, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have successfully been
adopted for powering electrical vehicles (EVs). However, to meet the challenges
of further replacing the combustion engine vehicle with EVs, advanced LIBs or
next-generation batteries with high energy, fast charging, low cost, better
safety, and long cycle life must be developed.
To overcome technical challenges, an in-depth understanding of the structural
changes of the cathode and anode materials in bulk and at the surface, the
interactions between the electrode material and the electrolyte, the formation
and functionality of the electrode/ electrolyte interface (SEI and CEI) on the
anode and cathode, and the effects of the additives and the surface coatings are
critically important. Since those remaining challenges are complicated, none of
the single characterization tools can provide a clear answer, and it usually
requires multiple strategies to provide comprehensive information in
multi-modal/multi-scale approaches. In such circumstances in current battery
research, the development and application of advanced characterization
techniques are becoming increasingly important.
This symposium aims to be a platform for battery scientists and researchers to
discuss recent advances in characterization techniques and share new ideas from
them. The topics include, but are not limited to:

soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy (AES),
time-of-flight scanning ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), X-ray photoemission
electron microscopy (XPEEM) to study interface issues in LIBs and
next-generation batteries;
• In situ TEM and 4D-STEM investigation on LIBs and next-generation batteries;

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been successfully commercialized
and are the most attractive power sources for mobile devices. Their market has
also expanded to large-scale applications such as electric vehicles and energy
storage systems for grid support, in which both energy density and safety
requirements are crucial. Despite considerable enhancements in the performance
of LIBs, frequent fire/explosion incidents have caused a lot of public concerns
over the safety of current LIBs. Recently, the focus of interest has shifted to
solid state batteries (SSBs) in which electrolytes are made up of Li+-conducting
solid materials. The use of solid electrolytes with non- or reduced flammability
can keep batteries safe even under harsh and abusive conditions. To realize
advanced SSBs, it is necessary to develop highly conductive and stable solid
electrolytes as well as composite electrodes with enhanced interfacial stability
and optimized electronic/ionic conducting paths. Papers are solicited on recent

non-lithium-based rechargeable batteries based on alternative metal elements
based on monovalent (Na+ and K+) or multivalent metal ions (Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+,
Al3+, etc.) are regarded as promising candidates to replace the applications of
lithium-ion batteries in the near future. Although research and progress is

I03 - SEAWATER ELECTRODIALYSIS AND ELECTROLYSIS FOR WATER-ENERGY NEXUS
Seawater electrolysis is environmentally friendly and is gaining attention as an
alternative to traditional ocean energy sources. It can contribute to mitigating
problems such as air pollution and ocean acidification. In addition, seawater
electrolysis technology can help reduce the cost of hydrogen production.
Seawater electrolysis is often preferred over freshwater electrolysis due to
resource abundance and sustainability. However, seawater electrolysis requires
more energy input than freshwater electrolysis due to the higher concentration
of salt in seawater. Additionally, the high salt content of seawater can lead to
corrosion and other maintenance issues, which can increase the cost of seawater
electrolysis systems. In this regard, an electrodialysis (desalination) process
is often combined with seawater electrolysis. Another important application of
seawater electrodialysis is in the production of chemicals and other materials.
Seawater contains a variety of minerals and ions that can be extracted and used
for a range of industrial processes. Electrodialysis can be used to separate
these ions and minerals from seawater, allowing them to be used in a
cost-effective and environmentally sustainable way. This symposium focuses on
electrochemical ion separation including electrodialysis and capacitive
deionization, electrochemical chlorination and aquatic chlorine chemistry, and
selective electrolysis (oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions) of saline water
and seawater.
Papers are solicited on the following topics, but are not limited to:
1) Synthesis of anodes and cathodes including dimensionally stable electrodes,
mixed metal oxides, carbon-based electrodes, boron-doped diamond electrodes;
2) Electrochemical ion separation processes of saline water for water-energy
nexus;
3) Selective oxidation between chloride and water;
4) Ammonia synthesis and electrolysis;
5) Scaling-free or inhibitive cathodes for hydrogen evolution reaction;
6) Electrochemical redox reactions for production of value-added chemicals.

L06 - ELECTROCATALYSIS AT THE INTERFACE: FROM FUNDAMENTAL STUDIES TO
APPLICATIONS
Electrocatalysis has over the last years transformed our energy landscape from a
carbon-based to a sustainable society. Unfortunately, until today,
electrochemical energy devices suffer from performance or selectivity issues
which have been increasingly approached from a material and engineering
perspective. At the same time, an increasing number of studies have reported the
importance of tuning the chemical and physical characteristics of
electrode-electrolyte interfaces. These are characterized by the formation of an
electric double layer (EDL) at which all electrochemical processes take place.
Our increased understanding about the EDL has led to macroscopic cell design
concepts, such as the use of ionomers to increase the density of cations close
to the electrode. Despite the significance of the EDL, many questions remain, as
our knowledge in large part remains based on models with unverified assumptions.
In addition, electrochemical reactions under confinement in nano-sized
dimensions and their physicochemical characteristics are extensively studied due
to their potential importance for various electrochemical energy systems.
The objective of this symposium is to bring together scientists and engineers
whose goal is to increase our fundamental knowledge of the EDL and
electrochemical reactivity under nano-confined conditions which link to
electrocatalytic performance (activity/selectivity/stability) using
state-of-the-art experimental and computational techniques. This symposium is
seen as a platform for deep discussion of the connection between fundamental
understanding and application in real systems. This comprises, for example, the
effect of cations, anions, water structure, hydrodynamic and nanoscale
phenomena, or design principles of electrocatalysis and its interface based on
activity, stability, and selectivity. The organizers invite contributions on,
but not limited to the following topics:
• Fundamental understanding of the EDL and its functional link to
electrocatalysis, as well as the coupling of its structure to the kinetics of
electrochemical processes via both experiments and simulations;
• Computational simulations of interest include continuum as well as explicit
atomistic representations of the electrolyte. Recently, fully atomistic
descriptions of the electrolyte have become increasingly feasible and of
particular interest. Force-field based descriptions are interesting as well as
the application of cutting-edge machine learning tools;
• Advanced characterization techniques that shed new light on the interfacial
chemistry and structures, with emphasis placed on new in situ/operando tools,
probes and methods aiming to measure the dynamic processes at the
electrochemical interfaces;
• Fundamental understanding of electrochemistry under the nanoconfinement via
both experiments and simulations.

L07 - FUNDAMENTALS OF CARBON DIOXIDE REDUCTION
There has been growing interest in the electrocatalytic, bioelectrochemical and
photoelectrochemical conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2), a potent greenhouse gas
and contributor to global climate change, into useful carbon-based fuels or
chemicals. The reaction products are of potential importance to energy
technology, food research, medical applications, and fabrication of plastic
materials. This symposium provides an interdisciplinary forum to present the
latest research on the electrochemical, bioelectrochemical and
photoelectrochemical reduction of CO2. Topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:
1) Mechanistic aspects of electroreduction of carbon dioxide;
2) Novel methods for the production of small organic molecules (C1-C4) and other
chemicals;
