⚡ Going to #ACSFall2026 in ten days? Interested in learning what really happens at electrochemical interfaces under reaction conditions? 🔬⚡

Join us in Chicago for our ENFL–COLL Joint Symposium: Electrochemical Interfaces at the ACS Fall 2026 National Meeting!

📍 McCormick Place Convention Center | Chicago, IL
🗓️ August 24–27, 2026

Our symposium brings together experimentalists and theorists working to unravel the atomic structures, chemical states, and reaction dynamics of electrochemical interfaces and to translate those fundamental insights into better reactivity, durability, efficiency, and cost.

Topics will span operando characterization, interfacial structure and solvation, dynamic active-site evolution, surface transformations, and next-generation atomistic modeling connecting AI and theory with experiment.

🌟 We are thrilled to have an amazing lineup of invited speakers:
Xiangfeng Duan (@uclachem), Tao Li (@VTChemDept), @Reshma_R_Rao, Anastassia Alexandrova (@uclachem), Hailiang Wang (@YaleChem), @ZhuHuiyuan, @jhmcatalysis, @lab_luo, Yingjie Zhang (@illinoismatse), @MarcelSchreier2, Dohyung Kim (@CBE_Penn), Kelsey Stoerzinger (@UMNCSE), @ChengBingqing, @nitish_gov, Theresa Schoetz (@ChBEIllinois), @PAKempler, @JRlLab, Xiaowei Teng (@WPI), Thomas Clarke (@MirkinGroupNU), and Luxi Li (@argonne).

A huge thank you to my fellow symposium co-organizers, @ChangLiuUVA, @jinhuangbruin, @adtandywang, Hua Zhou (@argonne & @advancedphoton), and Fang Lu (@BrookhavenLab & @FunctionalNano). We are also grateful for the support from @ACS_ENFL and the ACS Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry (COLL), as well as the sponsorship from @ElsevierConnect and its journal, Materials Chemistry and Physics, for helping make this symposium possible.

📌 Session schedule:
Mon, Aug 24: 8 AM–12 PM & 2–6 PM | Room W192a
Tue, Aug 25: 8 AM–12 PM | Room W185a
Wed, Aug 26: 8 AM–12 PM | Room W187a
Thu, Aug 27: 8 AM–12 PM | Rooms W192a & W193a

If you’re attending #ACSFall2026, join us for four days of exciting science and discussions at electrochemical interfaces!

📣 Please share with colleagues, students, and friends interested in electrochemistry, electrocatalysis, batteries, interfacial science, energy materials, and computational modeling.

See you in Chicago!

Chad Mirkin and Ted Sargent discovered a new catalyst for clean hydrogen that rivals iridium and costs one-sixteenth as much. The megalibrary platform made it possible in a single afternoon!

John Goodenough: 1922-2023

All of us in the lithium ion battery and electric vehicle industry have stood on the shoulders of giants.

Those giants: John Goodenough, Stan Whittingham, Akira Yoshino.

The passing of John Goodenough marks a moment in time for our industry to be thankful.

Thankful for this genuine pioneer who led the discovery of probably the most powerful technology to change our world and shift us away from fossil fuel dominance.

It was an absolute joy to see than John saw the beginnings of the mass commercialisation of the lithium ion battery, a generation after his groundbreaking discovery at @UniofOxford

He has created a multi-billion dollar industry.

Over the last 8 years, John had got his flowers: taking stages at the biggest industry events, world political forums and, of course, being awarded the @NobelPrize

May he rest in peace and may we all benefit from the man that changed the world.

Myself and all of Team Benchmark @benchmarkmin send our deepest condolences.
