As such, improvements in cell and battery safety design without compromising performance continues to be a major focus for researchers, manufacturers, and users across all sectors of the energy storage marketplace. Safe passenger travel in emerging modes of electrified transportation such as commercial aviation, marine, and novel ground transport applications is enabled by safe rechargeable battery technologies. An improved understanding of rechargeable battery failure mechanisms will facilitate regulatory agency approval and public acceptance of early deployment of advanced battery energy storage systems for high reliability applications.

The goal of this symposium is to address battery safety from the perspective of materials, cell, and battery-level design improvements, which reduces the severity and consequences of an energetic safety incident. Specific topics and areas to be discussed include, but are not limited to:

1) Use of advanced techniques in adiabatic and isothermal calorimetry for safe battery design;

2) Improvements in cell design safety features;

3) Materials characterization, diagnostics, and prognostics from in situ, in operando, and postmortem techniques;

4) Safety of next-generation rechargeable cell technologies (such as solid state, lithium metal, sodium, potassium, magnesium, and redox-flow);

5) Effect of fast charging or aging on cell safety and degradation characteristics;

6) Development of novel low or non-flammable cell electrolytes;

7) Analyses that improves understanding of cell failure mechanisms and hazards;

8) Other battery safety topics not covered by the above or in other symposia.

Batteries generate heat nonlinearly during charge and discharge, requiring the need for thermal management, or heat rejection. However, the complex and stochastic electrochemical phenomenon of batteries, especially in Li-ion systems, demands fundamental understanding, instrumentation, and multiphysics modeling for informed thermal management design. Further, growing interest in extreme conditions, like low-temperature environments or fast charging, exacerbate self-heating behaviors, drawing attention to local and global temperature variations. The topics of this symposium include, but are not limited to:

1) Local phenomenon driven by temperature;

2) Thermal gradients and transients;

3) Thermal management design;

4) Instrumentation of cells and packs;

5) Extreme environments;

6) Heat generation measurement/estimation;

7) Modeling (bridging scales);

8) Novel cell and battery designs.

D03 Advanced 3D Interconnect Technologies and Packaging 2

Dielectric Science and Technology Division; Electronics and Photonics Division

This symposium focuses on issues pertinent to advances in traditional damascene interconnects, and new materials and integration methods for 3D interconnects. An emerging technology or device architecture called 3D integration is based on the system performance gains that can be achieved by stacking and vertically interconnecting distinct device layers. The 3D concept of replacing long 2D interconnects with shorter vertical (3D) interconnects has the potential to alleviate the well-known interconnect (RC) delay problem facing the semiconductor industry today. Additional benefits of the 3D process include reduced die size and the ability to optimize distinct technologies (analog, logic, RF, etc.) on separate vertically interconnected layers. An application area where large performance gains can be obtained is high-density device/ sensor arrays where processing power is placed within each individual device. Damascene copper interconnects, introduced at the 0.25 µm node, have spanned six technology nodes, and are expected to be used for the foreseeable future. Despite the history of success, there are new challenges including increases in effective resistivity, electromigration and stress migration resistance, and the integration of porous low-k dielectrics and air gaps.

This symposium brings together researchers to discuss the challenges and solutions to extend damascene copper interconnects well beyond the 45 nm node. This symposium aims to discuss the proposed architectures and applications of 3D integration, and the various enabling materials and processes that are required to bring the technology into full commercialization. Broadly, the enabling process technologies include wafer/die thinning, wafer/die bonding, and vertical interconnect fabrication. Each of these process technologies will leverage novel materials, and much of the emphasis of this symposium is on the materials science of these 3D integration materials. Ideally, this symposium brings together researchers to discuss the various merits of the presented 3D

device architectures, materials, and fabrication methodologies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

1) Methods to reduce increases in effective resistivity;

2) Methods to mitigate electromigration and stress migration issues;

3) Advanced barrier/seed processes including ALD and electroless films;

4) Porous low-k ILDs and air gap processing (including deposition and etching);

5) Novel electrodeposition and CMP processes;

6) 3D process integration methodologies;

7) 3D design and architectures;

8) Simulation and modeling of 3D integrated devices;

D04 Water-Energy Nexus Research Relating to Electrochemical Sciences

Dielectric Science and Technology Division; Industrial Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering Division

Production of renewable energy requires large quantities of water, and supply of fresh water needs energy. Electrochemical sciences play a huge role in disrupting, to some extent, this interdependence. For example, semiconductor-assisted photocatalysis and plasma-assisted processes are highly useful in the removal of pollutants, dyes, and harmful microorganisms from water. Contextually, this symposium aims to bring together researchers interested in studying semiconductors, materials, and processes for water remediation, such as removal of pollutants, dyes, and harmful microorganisms from water. Semiconductor materials useful for the removal of emerging contaminants, such as pharmaceuticals, are also encouraged for submission. Papers describing synthesis/fabrication and assembly of materials useful for the simultaneous removal of pollutants from water, along with its desalination, are also welcome. Finally, papers describing the large-scale production of materials for water remediation are also encouraged.

L10 Interfacial Analysis for Energy Storage Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry Division; Battery Division

For electrochemical energy storage systems such as batteries, (pseudo-) capacitors, and other emerging storage devices, the gas/solid, liquid/ solid, and solid/solid interfaces are critical nexuses where many important physical and chemical processes take place. For example, the formation of the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) is one kind of electrochemical deposition at the electrode surface. How the SEI is formed and what it is composed of are strongly related to battery performance and safety (e.g., dendrite formation at lithium metal anode). Electrode/electrolyte interfaces usually experience transformations during battery chargedischarge cycling, resulting in changes in cycle life and energy capacity. Similarly, the interfacial couplings and reactions between electrodes and solid electrolytes dictate the operation and performance of solid state batteries in distinct ways. Analysis of such interfacial processes provides critical information for materials design and operational improvements for numerous energy storage systems. Examining the methodology used for diagnosis of interfacial (heterogeneous) charge transfer processes is also key to understanding the involved chemistries.

This symposium seeks oral and poster presentations on advanced methodology, innovative structure design, and research frontiers on interfacial analysis for energy storage. Addressing the pressing opportunities and challenges in these directions will help bridge expertise in academic research to industrial processes in energy devices. The technologies and topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

1) Control of electrochemical deposition for energy storage applications;

2) Single crystal, thin film, and substrate supported model systems for energy storage interfaces and interphases;

3) Interfacial electrochemistry-induced phase transformations and degradation processes in battery, capacitor, and other related devices;

4) Fundamental experimental and theoretical investigations of electrode/electrolyte interfaces (e.g., solid/liquid, and solid/solid) for energy storage and electrocatalysis related to energy storage processes;

5) Analytical, in situ, and operando characterizations of electrochemical interfacial processes, including those on buried interphases, related to energy storage.

Z02 Electrochemistry in Space 3

High-Temperature Energy, Materials, & Processes Division; Battery Division; Dielectric Science and Technology Division; Electrodeposition Division; Energy Technology Division; Industrial Electrochemistry and Electrochemical Engineering Division; Physical and Analytical Electrochemistry Division; Sensor Division, Interdisciplinary Science and Technology Subcommittee

Recent deployment of electrochemical devices in space, such as on the International Space Station and on Mars-based rovers, has highlighted the potential for using electrochemical processes and devices for critical space functions such as life support, in situ resource utilization, and vital probes for extraterrestrial exploration. The uniqueness of extraterrestrial environments such as microgravity, extreme temperatures, and the usual need for autonomous operation raises both fundamental questions about electrochemical processes and application challenges for device design. Electrochemical power with robust fuel cells, energy storage with batteries, and electrolyzers for production of metals, fuel, and oxygen production presents promise for increasing the viability of selfsustaining spaced based activities. This symposium invites researchers and developers to present recent advances in electrochemistry in and for space applications in a wide array of topics including, but not limited to the following:

• Fundamental impacts of extraterrestrial environments on electrochemical processes;

• In situ resource utilization through conversion of lunar, Martian, and asteroid materials into propellants, clean water, oxygen, and structural or functional materials/devices;

• Electrochemical power sources to survive harsh environments of space;

• Energy storage for power management in various extraterrestrial environments;

• Sensors for chemical and radiation detection, and for environmental and human health monitoring in space applications;

• Electrochemical processes for environmental controls in extraterrestrial environments.

This interdisciplinary symposium brings together speakers from across a broad range of disciplines to discuss advances in research and development for electrochemistry in space. This symposium also addresses how extraterrestrial environments impact electrochemical processes as well as component design and operation. We want to facilitate broad interdisciplinary conversations through this symposium.

Z03 Young Researchers in Europe: A Special Symposium and Workshop All Divisions, ECS Europe Section

The ECS Europe Section is organizing a special daylong event aimed at early career professionals in electrochemistry and materials science hailing from the geographical region of Europe. The purpose is to

facilitate connections between scientists and engineers in the field; introduce calls for research grants, in particular those requiring teams from several countries; allow time in between presentations to learn about participants’ research and projects; and communicate similarities, differences, concerns, and anxieties in seeking to do research across the countries of Europe.

Several keynote speakers are invited, in particular representing grant institutions or international research consortia. These experts are available during deliberately planned extended coffee breaks. While it is assumed that participants at the symposium choose other symposia in their own technical interest area for their full papers, informal opportunity is offered to young and early career researchers during the workshop period to highlight their own work in two- to three-minute “elevator speeches.” Young and early career participation is suggested to mean 35 years or younger OR within five years of embarking onto a new topic or career track. When submitting to other 244th ECS Meeting symposia, please indicate your desire to be included for consideration in Z03 as well.

The ECS Europe Section holds its traditional reception on one of the meeting evenings. All symposium and workshop participants are invited to attend.
