Battery Division Research Award (original) (raw)

Nomination period: October 15 – January 15, annually DEADLINE EXTENDED TO FEBRUARY 1, 2025
Presented: ECS fall meeting, annually

The Battery Division Research Award was established in 1958 to encourage excellence in battery and fuel cell research, and to encourage publication in ECS journals. Although it is not limited to a specific age group, the award’s primary purpose is to develop interest in battery and fuel cell science among younger electrochemists.

The award’s field of interest is “that area of electrochemical knowledge which deals with the mechanisms, theory, materials, and design of devices (primary and secondary cells, and batteries and fuel cells) in which chemical energy can be converted into usable electrical energy by an electrochemical process.”

Eligibility criteria

The award recognizes recent achievements or contributions to the field with potential impact on future research and development. Judgment of the achievement/contribution’s importance and significance is based on the paper(s) where it is reported. As the work’s significance may become clearer with time, papers that appeared up to 10 years prior to May 1 of the award year may be considered.
