Symposium 1
Smart Materials for Innovative Wearable/Disposable/Renewable/Low-cost Electroanalytical devices
Sponsored by :
Division 1, Analytical Electrochemistry
This Symposium would like to gather scientists from different backgrounds to discuss on wearable/disposable/renewable/low-cost electroanalytical devices, which are becoming widespread in a wide range of applications and have gradually expanded in the form of small sensors, accessories, integrated clothing, body attachments and inserts, as a result of the progresses in electronics and electroanalytical techniques, but in particular as a consequence of the development of smart, innovative materials, allowing to step forward from traditional rigid electrodes, towards systems able to retain mechanical compliance while maintaining electrochemical functions. These innovations can be attributed to the development in materials engineering that have led for example to novel inks for electrode manufacturing based on new nanomaterials, polymers, hybrids and composites, but also to the growth of more efficient printing technologies, using also low-impact materials. These sensing devices also require miniaturized viable and mechanically compliant energy sources, as well as low-power electronics for controlling them and wirelessly communicating with users

Symposium 2
Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology in Analytical Electrochemistry
Sponsored by:
Division 1, Analytical Electrochemistry
Nanoscience and nanotechnology have merged in the synthesis of a wide variety of nanomaterials as well as the development of technologies for characterization of materials and surfaces in the nanometer range. Both, nanomaterials as well as nanotechnology has affected tremendously electroanalytical chemistry. The ability to modify electrode surfaces with nanomaterials has opened endless abilities for controlling electron transfer and enhancing both the sensitivity and selectivity of electrochemical tools. Likewise, the use of nanopores has opened up ways to detect electroanalytical targets in a non-redox manner and so extending its performance capability. At the same time, the lateral resolution of scanning probe microscopies, such as scanning electrochemical microscopy, enables studying surfaces and electrochemical processes at the molecular scale. This symposium seeks to bring together electrochemists who are using either nanomaterials for electroanalytical purposes or use nanotechnology in analytical electrochemistry.

Sponsored by:
Division 2, Bioelectrochemistry
Division 6, Molecular Electrochemistry
(Bio)electrocatalysis and (bio)electrosynthesis are attractive processes in a sustainable context. Enzymes are very specific and efficient catalysts. Biodiversity and enzyme engineering offer new opportunities in energy conversion, electrosynthesis, CO2 valorization, and production of renewable fuels and added-value chemicals. Nevertheless, long term stability can limit their application. Bioinspired inorganic complexes and nanomaterials can take benefit of the knowledge of redox enzymes while performing over longer duration.

Symposium 7
Lithium (sodium) Ion batteries: from materials to devices
Sponsored by:
Division 3, Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage
Lithium-ion batteries have revolutionized our everyday life and there is still great room for further improvement. Simultaneously, intensive efforts are undertaken to develop alternative battery chemistries such as sodium-ion batteries – not least owing to the possibility to avoid the use of critical elements like cobalt and nickel – in addition to the substitution of lithium by sodium. This symposium is, thus, devoted to the latest achievements concerning the development of advanced active and inactive lithium-ion and odium-ion battery materials as well as optimized and new material processing strategies. Moreover, the evelopment and use of cutting-edge in situ techniques to advance our understanding of the reactions occurring in the bulk as well as at the interfaces and interphases will be covered, as this is the bedrock for identifying and defining the most promising strategies for further enhancing the performance. Theoretical studies, especially in combination with experimental work, are very welcome as well.

Division 3, Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage
The global demand for batteries is growing at a very fast pace and calls for improved cell technologies able to satisfy a variety of application requirements in line with market diversification. In this scenario, post-lithium chemistries such as Na-ion, multivalent systems (Ca, Mg, Zn), and organic batteries may play a crucial role and become the next generation electrochemical energy storage systems, where safety, cost, sustainability, dependency on raw critical materials, and manufacturability are critical parameters to be considered as much as performance metrics. This symposium will focus on the latest development of beyond lithium-ion battery technologies and it is devoted to recent progresses in the design and characterization of advanced battery materials, including electrodes and electrolytes, and the fundamental understanding of their interactions. Studies on advanced characterization of the key interfaces, structures, and mechanisms relevant to these systems, are necessary for the development of the future battery technologies and are welcomed contributes of this symposium.

High Power Devices: from Supercapacitors to Hybrid Systems
Sponsored by:
Division 3, Electrochemical Energy Conversion and Storage
The evolution of portable/wearable electronics, connected devices and electric vehicles depends strongly on high power devices like supercapacitors for efficient energy storage and use.

Machine learning is an emerging disruptive technology used in image recognitions and self-driving cars. By learning from data, it provides an unprecedent prediction power and offers a new opportunity to both fundamental and applied research. In this regard, how to integrate machine learning with traditional computational modelling and experimental techniques in the context of electrochemistry is an outstanding question. This symposium will address this question and bring simulation and machine learning experts as well as scientist with background in bench experiments under the same roof for stimulating discussions. In particular, this symposium is devoted to recent progress in the development and the application of machine learning techniques from studying electrified solid-liquid interfaces, electrocatalysis, battery materials and manufacturing, to monitoring and diagnosing health conditions of electrochemical devices based on real-time data.
