209th ECS Meeting: Meeting Program

Denver COLORADO 2 0 9 th E C S M e e t i n g

May 7-11, 2006 Meeting Program

Welcome

Located at the base of the Rocky Mountains, Denver is one of America’s most beautiful cities. The bustling downtown area is centered around a mile-long pedestrian promenade that is lined with outdoor cafes and flower baskets and has mountain views down every street. We are pleased to venture into this city again for the 209th ECS Meeting. This major international conference will be held at the Adam’s Mark Hotel and will include 38 topical symposia consisting of 1,285 technical presentations.

You are invited to participate not only in the technical program, but also in the other social events planned for the meeting.

Prior to the Sunday Evening Get-Together, plan to attend the latest in our series of Sunday general topics, “Bio/Nanoscience and Electrochemistry… for the Rest of Us,” this one presented by Charles R. Martin, Colonel Allen R. and Margaret G. Crow Professor of Chemistry at the University of Florida and the Director of UF’s Center for Research at the Bio/Nano Interface. Don’t miss the opening plenary session on Monday morning, featuring Dr. Ralph Overend, Research Fellow of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

Join us on Wednesday to honor Dr. Florian Mansfeld, the 2006 Vittorio de Nora Award winner at the Honors and Awards Session.

Later on Wednesday evening, all meeting registrants are cordially invited to attend the Vittorio de Nora Award reception held in Dr. Mansfeld’s honor. As always, you will also have the opportunity to visit the Technical Exhibit, which opens in conjunction with the Monday Evening Mixer and General Student Poster Session, continues with the General Society Poster Session on Tuesday evening, and runs through Wednesday afternoon. We hope that you will join us in Denver, and take part in the 209th ECS Meeting.

#1–Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes

#3–Battery Design and Simulation

Dirk M. Guldi and R. Bruce Weisman, Instructors Fullerenes Session—This session will be taught by D. M. Guldi, a professor at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Institute for Physical Chemistry, Erlangen, Germany. Topics to be discussed include Fullerene Basics, such as synthesis and purification, characterization, structures, electronic properties, chemical properties, physicochemical properties, and functionalization. Other topics include Fullerene Applications, such as photovoltaics, implications for medical research, practical applications, and industrial scale up.

Robert Spotnitz, Instructor for specific applications, and techniques for sizing and estimating performance. Attendees will also develop an appreciation for the types of battery processes that are currently amenable to simulation, the types of simulation models available, and how these models can be applied to simulate battery performance. This introductory course requires no prior experience in battery modeling. The following major topics are covered: survey of battery systems (markets, applications, general behavior); principles of battery design (sizing, tab placement, thermal management, charging); equivalent circuit modeling of battery systems (discrete circuit elements, applications in circuit design, state of charge determination, state of health determination); first principles’ modeling of battery systems (fundamental laws, cell models for specific chemistries, battery versus cell design, numerical methods); and simulation of battery performance (discharge/charge behavior, thermal behavior, fade, abuse).

Carbon Nanotubes Session—This session will be taught

by R. Bruce Weisman, a professor in the Department of Chemistry, Rice University, Houston, Texas, USA. Topics to be discussed include Carbon Nanotube Basics, such as structures, growth and purification methods, mechanical properties, electronic properties, optical properties, characterization methods, and chemical properties and modifications. Other topics include Carbon Nanotube Applications, such as highperformance materials, field emission devices, nanoscale electronics, and biomedical uses.

#2–Understanding the Finite Element Method Bruce A. Finlayson, Instructor This Short Course describes the finite element method as applied to transport processes using FEMLAB (Comsol Multiphysics) as a platform. Applications will include calculating primary and secondary potential distributions and the effect of flow on mass transfer rates at surfaces. The basics of the finite element method include: trial function approximation (shape, degree of polynomial, when it matters, mesh refinement, and adaptive meshes). Iterative methods are used to solve large (10,000+) sets of linear or non-linear equations. These are described and strategies are given to insure a better chance for obtaining the solution.

Techniques are described for finding parametric solutions as a parameter changes. Methods are given to estimate the error of the numerical solution and see how it depends upon the finite element choices (degree of polynomial, mesh refinement, etc.). To fully specify the problem, the physics must be known. The differential equations are specified, and possible boundary conditions are chosen. Illustrations will be given, using FEMLAB, which show how to modify the physics to give you the desired equations. Sometimes differential equations are specified on a surface; or there is a surface layer that is very thin. Methods to detect and solve such problems are described. Free surfaces and moving domains are difficult to model, but methods exist. Strategies for detecting errors are described, as are strategies for approaching problems (start simple and build in the complications). One important problem arises for high speed flows or large Peclet numbers; and special methods have been developed for those cases.

Considerations for choosing a commercial code are described.

The Electrochemical Society Interface • Spring 2006

#4–Impedance Spectroscopy Mark E. Orazem, Instructor This course is intended for chemists, physicists, materials scientists, and engineers with an interest in applying electrochemical impedance techniques to study a broad variety of electrochemical processes. Ideally, the attendee should have some experience with making impedance measurements. The attendee will develop a basic understanding of the technique, the sources of errors in impedance measurements, the manner in which experiments can be optimized to reduce these errors, and the use of regression to interpret measurements in terms of meaningful physical properties.

The following topics will be covered: the motivation for using impedance spectroscopy advantages as compared to other transient techniques and the conditions under which its use is ideally suited; the type of information that can be extracted from impedance measurements, including the limitations of the technique; proper selection of experimental parameters; the types of errors expected in impedance measurements, and methods to assess the importance of these errors and to reduce their magnitude; use of the Kramers-Kronig relations as a tool for evaluating impedance data; use of regression techniques and appropriate selection of weighting strategies; application of electrical circuit analogues; development of mathematical models appropriate for interpretation of impedance spectra in terms of physical properties; and applications to different systems including corrosion, fuel cells, characterization of electronic materials, and transport through membranes such as skin.

2006 Henry B. Linford Award for Distinguished Teaching Derek Pletcher will receive the Henry B. Linford Award at the Honors and Awards Session on Wednesday, May 10, 0830h, in the Plaza Ballroom D, Councourse Level.

DEREK PLETCHER was born in North London and studied chemistry at the University of Sheffield, receiving a BSc in 1964 and a PhD in 1967. After graduation, he immediately joined the Electrochemistry Group in the School of Chemistry at the University of Southampton and has remained there since. His research interests extend from fundamental electrochemistry, through electrochemical engineering, to the industrial applications of electrolysis (electrosynthesis, gas sensors, fuel cells, batteries, metal deposition, and effluent treatment). He is the author of over 300 technical papers in international journals and over 20 reviews.

Dr. Pletcher has influenced training in electrochemistry in a number of ways. His books, A First Course in Electrode Processes and Industrial Electrochemistry, have introduced many scientists and engineers to electrochemistry and its applications while Instrumental Methods in Electrochemistry has become a reference text for voltammetry and related techniques. He has also recognised the value of short courses for more mature scientists/engineers. At the commencement of his career, he managed the first Southampton Summerschool Instrumental Methods in Electrochemistry. This is a laboratory and lecture based course still presented most Julys; it has now been attended by over 1,000 scientists/engineers.

During the past 25 years, the scope of such courses has been extended to other aspects of fundamental and applied electrochemistry; and over 40 courses have been mounted in North America and Europe as well as Venezuela, Pakistan, and South Africa.

Other courses have been presented within companies with the material tailored to local requirements. Finally, Dr. Pletcher has supervised the training of more than 90 postgraduate students from all parts of the world; and has watched, with pleasure, their successful careers in both industry and academia.
