Symposium 13 Mechanisms in molecular electrochemistry for (bio-)catalysis,(bio-)sensing and electronics
Sponsored by Division 1: Analytical Electrochemistry, Division 2: Bioelectrochemistry& Division 7: Physical Electrochemistry
A simple electron (/charge, in general) transfer taking place at molecular level can be at the origin of many
contemporary applications in very diverse fields of our daily life. This symposium is focused on recent
advances in the charge and mass transfer/transport processes occurring at electrode surfaces, suitably
functionalized with new electroactive, bio-inspired and biomimetic molecules (including polymers). The
novel materials and architectures, designed and crafted at molecular level, can enable unprecedented
functionality from the physical electrochemistry point of view concerning charge transfer/transport properties.
Furthermore, they can serve as novel molecular components to devise low-cost, low-power (bio-inspired)electronics, optoelectronics, (bio-)chemical sensing platforms, highly efficient catalysts. The aim is to (i)highlight fundamental approaches to devise novel functionalized molecular systems, 2D and 3D material
architectures, with particular attention to synthetic receptors and biomimetic interfaces, and (ii) investigate
how the structure of molecules affects the molecular interactions, the charge transfer/transport phenomena
in molecular systems, molecular junctions and (biomimetic) interfaces to develop reliable and robust
molecular or nanoscale bio-inspired devices for next-generation (opto-)electronics, sensing and catalysis. We
will be happy to see contributions in both experimental and computational areas on the following topics:
Fundamental electron/charge transfer and mass transport processes in molecular (organic, organometallic,coordination), biomolecular, biomimetic, and supramolecular systems, as well as (conducting) polymers;
Nano-/Micro-scale approaches to investigate the charge transfer and catalytic properties at the interfacesof novel hybrid functionalized electrode materials; New experimental (synthetic, in-situ spectroscopic)
and hyphenated methodologies (e.g. SPR, SERS, etc. coupled with electrochemical techniques); New
theoretical approaches to elucidate the underlying mechanistic principles of molecular transformations
involving charge transfer step(s); Modified surfaces, functionalized 2D and 3D material architectures;
Molecular junctions and electronics; Biomimetic interfaces, especially based on synthetic receptors (e.g.
peptides, aptamers, imprinted polymers, etc.), enabling efficient electron/charge transfer and/or specificredox or electroluminescent activities for sensing and electrocatalysis. KEYWORDS: Charge transfer andtransport mechanisms • Structure-reactivity relationship • Single-entity properties • Advanced electroactive

Symposium 14 Experimental and theoretical methods for atomistic
understanding of electrochemical interfaces
Sponsored by Division 7: Physical Electrochemistry
The chemistry of the electrode-electrolyte interface is a key factor for the performance of electrochemical
devices such as fuel cells, batteries, electrolyzers, and capacitors. Capturing this interfacial chemistry
requires powerful experimental methods and simulations. From the experimental side, methods suchas (operando) X-ray spectroscopy, vibrational spectroscopy, X-ray scattering, and scanning tunnelingmicroscopy provide key insight into the morphology, composition and (electronic) structure of theinterface. Meanwhile, theoretical methods provide insight into reaction mechanisms, moleculararrangements, kinetics, electronic structure properties, and atomic-scale dynamics. To disentangle thefull complexity of interfacial chemistry, a combination of theoretical and experimental methods is often
necessary. Therefore, this symposium not only provides a platform to discuss recent developments
and results of advanced experimental and theoretical methods, but also fosters experiment-theory
collaboration. To further promote experiment-theory collaboration, a collaboration speed-dating
session will be organized.KEYWORDS: Experiment-theory collaboration • Scanning probe microscopy• (Operando) spectroscopy • X-ray scattering • Density Functional Theory • Double layer models •Multiscale modelling.

Symposium 15 Artificial intelligence for electrochemistry
Sponsored by Division 7: Physical Electrochemistry
The fast development of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the world in many ways, and isalso changing how scientists do research. Many long-standing problems in electrochemistry thatelectrochemists dream of solving, all of sudden, seem within reach with the help of AI. In this
symposium, we wish to bring together researchers from different backgrounds to discuss in whatways AI can reshape electrochemistry, with particular emphasis on the following questions: To what
extent can AI acceleration on ab initio modeling of electrochemical systems bridge the gap between
simulation models and experiment? How far can AI push the spatial and temporal limits of state-ofthe-art in situ/operando characterization techniques in probing electrochemical systems? How can
AI/robotics help close the loop of multi-level optimization of electrochemical systems ranging frommaterials design, hierarchical structure engineering to device optimization?
KEYWORDS: AI accelerated atomistic modeling • AI assisted characterization • automatedexperiment • Electrochemical interfaces/interphases • complex electrolyte and electrode materials •Intelligent optimization of electrochemical devices.

Symposium 16 General session - Hidden treasures and diversity ofelectrochemistry
Sponsored by all Divisions
The symposium is intended to be a forum to present and discuss all ISE areas that are not covered
or not sufficiently covered by the other symposia to provide a space for the full diversity of topics inelectrochemistry. Moreover, the general session should be a forum for contributions of specific scientifictopics of electrochemistry, which are of high importance but not yet large enough for an entire symposium.
Hence, this symposium aims to encourage research in the fields of electrochemical sciences and technology,
as well as increase interest in and involvement in ISE among the participants, and provide the opportunity
to discuss recent advances in electrochemical research with industrial partners. For this, and taking into
consideration that the competition for oral presenta­tion slots is extremely high, the symposium will also
provide the possibility for short presentations of PhD students covering all topics of electrochemistry*.
Possible topics comprise but are by no means limited to: 30 years after Heinz Gerischer: New aspectsof semiconductor electrochemistry, basic electrochemistry of functional materials (perovskites, MOFs,
MXenes, ...), nanoelectrochemistry and nanoelectrochemical tools, electrochemistry in confined volumes,
electrochemistry at liquid-liquid interphases.
*PhD students who want to participate in the competition for the short oral presen­tations are requested
to mention this in their submitted abstract.
