Electrochemistry

This Faraday Discussion compares electrochemical devices on Earth and in space. Researchers examine how reduced gravity changes bubble dynamics, transport and efficiency; electrolyser designs that manage gas separation and withstand radiation and temperature extremes; battery interfaces, dendrites and durability; and fuel-cell catalysts, gas handling and closed-loop energy storage. Precirculated research papers support extended discussion among academic and industrial researchers and postgraduate students. The meeting is at Royal Society of Chemistry, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London W1J 0BA, on 2–4 November 2026. Times are GMT (Europe/London, UTC+0). Registration opens at 11:00 on 2 November, welcome at 12:45 and Michael Hecht’s introductory lecture at 13:00. Sessions start at 09:00 on 3 and 4 November; the meeting closes at 13:00 on 4 November. Participants include Detlef Lohse, Kerstin Eckert and closing lecturer Hitoshi Naito. The published programme may change. Public booking is open. Until 2 October, fees are GBP 445/545 for members/nonmembers and GBP 225/275 for student members/nonmembers, plus VAT. Standard fees are GBP 505/620 and GBP 275/325 respectively, plus VAT; registration closes 19 October. Abstract submission has closed.

The Southwest Regional Meeting brings researchers to Fort Worth to discuss chemistry across energy, sustainability and biology. The programme spans molecular energy systems, batteries and catalysis, sustainable materials and chemical biology, with general and specialist symposia and a plenary lecture by H. N. Cheng. The meeting takes place at the Hilton Fort Worth from 16 to 19 November 2026. Registration is open, including on-site registration. Abstract submissions closed on 26 August 2026; this listing supports attendance and does not advertise the expired abstract call.

An 18-month appointment at Institut Charles Gerhardt Montpellier within the RADICAL project of the French PEPR Batteries programme. Develop aqueous redox-flow batteries using inexpensive organic active molecules near neutral pH. Evaluate electrolytes and battery performance, investigate degradation, and monitor composition, pH and dissolved oxygen to relate stability to cycling conditions. The planned start is 1 February 2027; applications close on 6 October 2026 at 23:59 source local time.

Fund collaborative research on electron transfer between biological and synthetic components, including enzyme–electrode interfaces and electroactive microbes. The programme encourages rigorous mechanistic work and integration of data science or AI, rather than development of a specific end product. Consortia of two to four groups may request DKK 30–75 million over six years. A qualifying European lead institution and Danish participation are required. First-stage applications close on 7 October 2026.

Develop bio-based organic solvents from renewable carbon for lithium- and sodium-ion battery electrolytes. Combine organic synthesis with NMR, FTIR, UV-visible spectroscopy, GC-MS and physical-property measurements, working with battery-performance researchers and industrial collaborators. The full-time appointment lasts two years with a possible one-year extension; start is 26 October 2026 or by agreement. Teaching may occupy up to 20% of working time. Apply by 16 October 2026.

Study solid polymer electrolytes for metal-anode batteries using molecular dynamics and density-functional theory. The project connects chemical structure with electrolyte properties to identify improved battery materials. This master’s fellowship is based at the Institute of Chemistry in Araraquara and requires full-time dedication. Applications remain open until 30 November 2026. Follow the investigator’s application instructions to submit a Lattes CV, transcript and brief cover letter. A relevant undergraduate degree must be completed by the beginning of the January 2027 academic term; prior simulation experience is helpful but not compulsory.
