Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS12–2023): Foreword

Abstract

In this foreword, the Symposium on Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS12–2023), which was held by Beijing University of Chemical Technology and Tsinghua University in Beijing from July 2 to 7, 2023, was in details introduced. It was the first time that EIS12 -2023 took place in China since it was established in France 1989. At the opening ceremony, a film illustrating the history of the conference on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was also shown. Meanwhile, the Claude Awards were given to Prof. Annick Hubin from Vrije Universiteit Brussel in Belgium and Prof. Jianqing Zhang from Zhejiang University in China. During EIS12–2023, 15 plenary talks, 21 invited talks in the corrosion session and in memory of Prof. Chunan Cao, 10 keynote talks in the energy and measurement sessions were presented. There were also 51 posters and 54 talks. Xingyue Yong from Beijing University of Chemical Technology and Assistant Professor Burak Ulgut from Bilkent University, Turkey were elected as new members of the Technical Committee of International Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy Additionally, it was decided that the 13th International Symposium on Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy will be held in Brazil in November 2026. EIS12–2023 organizing committee sincerely thanks everyone for supporting EIS12–2023 and express its great gratitude to Prof. Sotiris Sotiropoulos, the Special Issues Editor of Electrochimica Acta, for his contribution in making this Special Issue possible.
