One of the most difficult challenges in translating electrochemical technologies into agriculture is the lag in education about the impact of electrochemical technologies in the field. Other challenges include lack of (1) investment and resources for translational research; (2) effective mechanisms to derisk investment; (3) a workforce prepared to translate and operate such technologies; (4) policy, legal infrastructure, and holistic business growth models; and (5) diverse and inclusive leadership “agents of change” to transition the technologies into the market. Opportunities to translate research into the market require strong partnerships with industry, universities, government, and stakeholders. An effective model is the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Research Center (ERC) model. An NSF ERC Gen-4 launched in August 2022 is the Center for Advancing Sustainable and Distributed Fertilizer Production (CASFER). Industry and other practitioner organizations are actively involved at the very early stage (articulation of the vision) and during operation in activities such as: participation in strategic planning, joint research, providing input into workforce development programs, mentoring students, and engagement in proof-of-concept testbeds. All these activities and engagement are key to accelerating technology transfer and to transitioning technologies from the lab to the market, while training an effective workforce for industry.

This year I’m saying “yes” as much as I can, especially when it comes to travelling to meet, visit, reconnect, and reengage face-toface with members of the global ECS community. What a thrill to be back on the road, meeting with old friends and colleagues, making new connections, and sharing the ECS mission in a far more personal, direct way than was possible these past several years. It has been amazing going out into the world, visiting places I haven’t seen in a long time—or ever before.

The question: is Commercialization of Intellectual Property Feasible in an Academic Environment. There are many factors, unique and disparate between Academia and Commercialization and Licensing. There are substantial misalignments of the objectives. A fundamental idea inaugurated in an academic lab follows a complex path to commercialization. Along the way, the PI wears many hats. Here, some of the challenges for an academic PI navigating the path are counterbalanced with investors’ perspectives on commercialization.

For large-scale energy storage, flow batteries present many advantages. These benefits include, but are not limited to, decoupling power rating from energy capacity and projected lower cost energy storage and long cycle life. Several reviews and a comprehensive handbook have come available recently describing the various flow battery chemistries and the details of cell and stack construction. However, none of the chemistries proposed are perfect and the commercialization path to widespread adoption remains challenging. For the purposes of this article, we will take a closer look at the concept and development of an all-iron slurry flow battery and the intellectual property (IP) protection and commercialization process that occurred within an academic environment.

I may believe in the inherent goodness of people more than is warranted, but I hold out hope. I see more people doing the little things that are the foundation of goodness. Kindnesses can be as simple as holding doors and stepping aside for others, paying for the next person in line at the coffee shop, lending a hand when someone is struggling to move something. All of these random acts of kindness are most impactful when they are done without being asked, and they add up. They brighten the day for people on both sides of the encounter. So, let’s show the world that all electrochemists and solid-state scientists, besides being good-looking, smart, and incredibly interesting, are very, very kind.
