The first 58 volumes were published under this title. In 1931, the journal renamed itself "Transactions of the Electrochemical Society", until volume 96 published in 1949. The transition from "Transactions" to the "Journal" occurred over two years 1948  (Vol. 93-94) and 1949 (Vol. 95-96). During this period, both the "Transactions" and the "Journal" published the same articles, with the same volume numbering and the same pagination. However, the "Journal" also incorporated the "Bulletin of the Electrochemical Society" in it, which the "Transactions" lacked. The "Transactions" were then discontinued. Although the journal was originally meant to include only papers presented at society meetings, in 1952 a mix of unsolicited, as well as meeting papers, began to be published. Beginning in 1967, the journal was divided into 3 sections: Electrochemical Science and Technology, Solid-State Science and Technology , and Reviews and News. The Reviews and News section would be forked off as "Interface" in 1992, and the Solid-State Science and Technology section became the "ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology" in 2012.
