The 248th ECS Meeting reminded us just how fast electrochemical science is evolving, and how dedicated this community remains to powering a cleaner, more efficient future.
Here are three quick takeaways that stood out to us at Scribner:
1. Researchers remain resilient
Across the conference, one theme was clear: researchers are pushing forward no matter the challenges. From improving catalyst durability to refining test protocols, electrochemists continue to find smarter ways to accelerate discovery and bridge the gap between lab insight and real-world impact.
2. Hydrogen and CO₂ reduction are scaling up
The conversation has shifted from feasibility to deployment. Hydrogen and eCO₂RR technologies are moving beyond proof-of-concept toward stack and large-format single-cell systems that can handle real operating conditions.
3. Critical minerals and value-added production are rising priorities
Sustainability is driving a new wave of research in electrochemical recovery and conversion. From selective metal extraction to waste-to-product pathways, electrochemistry is emerging as a key enabler of circular resource use.
From Scribner, you can expect to see more focus on critical mineral recovery and the electrochemical production of high-value materials — essential steps toward a cleaner, more resilient supply chain.
The energy at ECS 248 was clear: this field is moving fast, fueled by collaboration, creativity, and purpose.
