Electrochemistry is Bigger in Texas

For almost a century Texas has served as a hotbed of electrochemical research and innovation. Leaders of the field, major industrial partners, and instrument manufacturers have called the Lone Star State home. From sensors to batteries, analytical methods to instrumentation, the tradition of excellence in Texas electrochemistry continues to the present day. The aim of this session is to highlight cutting-edge electrochemistry research in the state of Texas and demonstrate the larger impact of Texas on the field of electrochemistry, from fundamentals to applications. Topics will emphasize the status of electrochemistry as a central science and major driver of technological development in the state. As such, topics will span the fields of energy and interfaces, instrument design, and biosensors and human health. Special emphasis will be placed on cutting-edge developments in the field such as: nano-scale and operando characterization of electrochemical interfaces, next-gen electrocatalytic transformations, and electrochemistry at the bio-abiotic interface. By demonstrating the broad impacts of electrochemistry on diverse fields, this session will promote interdisciplinary innovation and collaboration throughout the state of Texas.
