Hideaki MatsuokaECSJ President

Fernando H. Garzon, FECSECS President

Welcome to Honolulu! We are excited to host PRiME 2012 once again in this captivating city. The Hawaii Convention Center (HCC) and Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel (HHV) have opened their doors to help make this event a memorable one. PRiME 2012 will include 58 topical symposia and 4,011 technical presentations.

This meeting is record-breaking in size and participation, and could not be what it is today without the joint effort of The Electrochemical Society (ECS) and The Electrochemical Society of Japan (ECSJ). The following technical co-sponsorships were also greatly involved and appreciated: Japan Society of Applied Physics (JSAP), the Korean Electrochemical Society (KECS), the Electrochemistry Division of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (EDRACI), and the Chinese Society of Electrochemistry (CSE).

We are very much looking forward to the second Electrochemical Energy Summit (E2S) in ECS history. This all day event, occurring on Thursday, October 11 will feature 11 panelists and 4 keynote speakers including Lieutenant Governor Brian Schatz of Hawaii.

PRiME 2012 will bring together an eclectic group of academic and corporate scientists, engineers, and technical researchers. Our organizations are excited to be working with one another and hope you enjoy your time here!

Cell Bioelectrochemistry and Biomagnetsby Tadashi Matsunaga

Cells sense ions, chemicals, light, pressure, and temperature in order to effectively adapt to various conditions. Sensing is achieved by biological sensors that are constructed by

the self-assembling of a number of molecules within the cell. Now scientists are starting to artificially create such biological systems using the genomes of cells by a synthetic bioengineering approach, and are trying to transcend native systems to utilize them for various applications. Because the biological reactions can be extracted as electrochemical signals, research combining electrochemistry and the synthetic bioengineering approach should provide us with new opportunities to develop various devices and materials for sensing.

Professor Matsunaga opened the door to the fabrication of biosensors to detect the external stimulus using biological reactions within cells by a technique that measures direct electron transfer between cells and electrodes. He has successfully constructed a practical on-line biosensing system for toxic chemicals, which are detected as signals derived from oxygen consumption of cells. He has also proposed using geomagnetic sensors in bacteria as novel materials for biotechnological applications. These materials are inspired from the biological sensor and fabricated through the synthetic bioengineering approach based on the whole genome information of the organism. This talk will present his pioneering biosensors using cells and next-generation materials built up by molecule complexes.

Because various biological reactions in all organisms can be electrochemically monitored and controlled, this field of research has promising potential for various applications in biomedical and industrial sectors. Tadashi Matsunaga has pioneered the technologies of microbial sterilization, on-line biosensor for toxicity monitoring, biomagnets, etc. These multidisciplinary subjects, which originated from electrochemistry, will be introduced in this lecture.

tadashi matsunaga received his doctoral degree in biotechnology from Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1979. He then worked as a research associate in Miami (U.S.), returning to Japan to accept an Associate Professorship at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT). Promoted to Full Professor in 1989, Prof. Matsunaga served as Dean of Engineering from 2001 to 2007, and as Trustee and Vice-President for Academic Affairs and Research from 2007 to 2011; he has served as President of TUAT since 2011.

Dr. Matsunaga has been awarded several prizes for his research, including the 1994 Academic Award of the Chemical Society of Japan and the 2004 Prize of the Japanese Society for Bioengineering and Bioscience. He also received the Carnegie Centenary Professorship and the honorary degree of Doctor of Science from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, the United Kingdom, in 2003.

Plasmas for Thin Film Processing and Surface Modificationby Dennis W. Hess

Plasmas have been investigated extensively since Irving Langmuir coined the term in 1928 during his observations of ionized

gases. Generally, plasmas applied to thin film processing and surface modification are partially ionized gases composed of ions, electrons and a variety of neutral species. This atmosphere

is chemically reactive and so allows high reaction rates for film etching, polymerization, deposition and surface modification at room temperature. Due to the extensive array of chemistries that are possible, numerous applications ranging from electronic, photonic, sensor and microfluidic device fabrication, sterilization, artifact restoration, and adhesion promotion have been explored.

This talk will describe the unique plasma properties that can be exploited to control thin film and surface chemistry, physics and nanostructure for specific application areas. In particular, recent studies by the author that involve the etching of metal films such as copper for integrated circuit fabrication and the modification of surfaces such as paper, polymers, and metals to control wetting and adhesion for biomedical applications will be discussed.

dennis W. hess is the Thomas C. DeLoach, Jr. Professor of Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering and Director of the NSF Materials Research Science and Engineering Center at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Past, Current, and Future Research in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells by Bryan S. Pivovar

Polymer electrolyte fuel cells are at a notable stage of development as they move beyond the potential for improved performance

and efficiency into the realm of commercial viability in multiple applications. There have been several significant research advances that have played a key role in obtaining parity with competing technologies, typically batteries or internal combustion engines depending on the application. While this has allowed for the first commercial deployments, further research advances and evolution of the technology will allow for even broader application.

The past and current status of fuel cell research and development will be presented in broad terms with a focus on transportation applications, and specific areas of research contributions of the awardee will be highlighted within this context. In particular, specific scientific contributions in the areas of: alternate polymer electrolyte and membrane electrode assembly development; studies



of electrodes and the catalyst/electrolyte interface; the development of alkaline membrane fuel cells; and novel, extended surface Pt electrocatalysts will be presented. Remaining challenges for polymer electrolyte fuel cells, including discussion of their competition, and a discussion of future research directions to address these challenges will also be included.

Bryan s. Pivovar is the Fuel Cell Group Manager and the acting Center Director for the Hydrogen Technologies and Systems Center at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, CO. He received his PhD in chemical engineering from the University of Minnesota in 2000.

Mechanochemistry at Oxide Thin Film InterfacesBy Bilge Yildiz

Improved quantitative understanding of how surface activity and charge transport kinetics are driven by the environment, including

the mechanical state, is important both to fuel cell materials and to the dynamics of stress corrosion, where performance and stability depend on the state of solid state ionic films. In these systems, the mechanisms governing the interfacial activity are poorly understood, are challenging to probe due to harsh functional conditions, and sometimes require as long as years to evolve. Traditionally,

electrochemical methods have been used to identify the surface reaction kinetics in fuel cell electrodes and corrosion kinetics on metals. These methods help deduce high-level kinetic parameters such as reaction constants and effective energy barriers, but involve little consideration of the underlying specific surface chemistry and atomic structure. However, it is now increasingly realized that the surface structure and chemistry govern the reaction and transport mechanisms and kinetics, and that they are not static - they dynamically respond to their surrounding harsh environments and age over extended periods. Many aspects of the bulk defect chemistry and transport properties are well-studied in solid state ionic materials, typically in the form of oxide films in fuel cells and corrosion. However, it is not fully understood how their surfaces are altered by temperature, reactive gases and mechanical stresses. The understanding and control of the surface reactivity of oxygen-electrode materials in particular is a key enabler for the efficiency and durability of solid oxide fuel and electrolysis cells at intermediate temperatures. In this talk, Dr. Yildiz will discuss her group’s recent progress in the mechanistic understanding of the collective response of such surfaces in harsh environments on the basis of elementary processes, and of how mechanical stimuli may accelerate or suppress the governing kinetics, using in situ surface probes and computational theory. Specifically, Prof. Yildiz will present how elevated temperatures and strain states alter the electronic structure and cation chemistry on transition metal oxide surfaces, how strain state accelerates ionic diffusion, and how dissimilar oxide interfaces couple electronically to enhance surface activity.

BiLge yiLdiZ is an associate professor in the Nuclear Science and Engineering Department at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The aim of Yildiz’s research is to advance the quantitative understanding of how surface activity and charge transport kinetics are driven by dynamic harsh environments, and to apply this knowledge to enable the design of novel surface chemistries for highly efficient solid oxide fuel/electrolysis cells and for corrosion-resistant materials. Yildiz’s research builds equally on experimental and computational techniques at comparable length and time scales. She and her group have developed a unique capability to probe the surface electronic state with high spatial resolution in situ at elevated temperatures, in reactive gas conditions and with induced stresses, using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. Her research has demonstrated and explained how elevated temperatures and material strain state alter the surface cation chemistry and electronic structure on transition metal oxide surfaces. Her group has quantitatively elucidated the mechanisms by which the lattice strain facilitates oxygen ion diffusion in fluorite and perovskite oxides, and favors oxygen chemisorption and vacancy formation on perovskites. These findings are important for accelerating oxygen transport, oxygen reduction and water splitting kinetics on novel electrolyte and cathode structures made of ionic materials, as well as for suppressing corrosion kinetics. Dr. Yildiz and her group also work on capturing computationally the evolution of defect structures at the atomic level over experimental time scales, an important new capability to predict the aging of material microstructure both in high temperature fuel cells and in corrosion.

Professor Yildiz received her PhD in nuclear science and engineering at MIT (U.S. 2003), and her BSc in Nuclear Energy Engineering at Hacettepe University in Turkey (1999). After working as a postdoctoral researcher at MIT (2003-2004) and research staff at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL 2004-2007), she returned to MIT as an assistant professor in 2007. Her teaching and research efforts have been recognized by the Outstanding Teaching (2008, 2002), the NSF CAREER (2011) and the ANL Pace Setter (2006) Awards, and the Norman C. Rasmussen Career Development Professorship (2010-2012).

Junichi murota received his BE (1970), ME (1972), and PhD (1985) in electronic engineering from Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan. He joined the Musashino Electrical Communication Laboratory (ECL), Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Corporation in 1972, and moved to the Atsugi ECL in 1983. In 1985 he became an associate professor in the Laboratory for Microelectronics of the Research Institute of Electrical Communication (RIEC), Tohoku

University, Sendai, Japan, and in 1995 became a professor of Atomically Controlled Processing. He is currently a professor emeritus and specially appointed professor of the RIEC.

Through the research of 40 years, Prof. Murota has made outstanding contributions to atomically controlled processing of group IV semiconductors by CVD for ultralarge scale integration. He has confirmed the self-limited reaction and selective deposition are determined by reactant gas partial pressure, temperature and surface quality only, using ultraclean low-pressure CVD. He has demonstrated high-performance Si0.5Ge0.5-channel formation as well as in-situ impurity-doped Si1-xGex selective epitaxy on the source/drain regions in pMOSFET. Moreover, self-limiting formation of 1-3 atomic layers of group IV or related atoms using hydride gases on the Si1-xGex (x = 0 ~ 1) (100) surface has been generalized based on the Langmuir-type model and Si1-xGex epitaxial growth on top of N, P, B or C layer already-formed on Si1-xGex (100) at below 500°C has been performed. Such results suggest that very high carrier concentration and higher carrier mobility of group IV semiconductors are achieved.

Prof. Murota has published over 290 articles in referred journals, conference proceedings, and book chapters. He has been an active member of ECS since 1987; he has served in organizing ECS symposia and has co-edited seven corresponding proceedings volumes. He was a second Vice-Chair and an award committee chair and is now Member-at-Large in the ECS Electronics and Photonics Division. He has been guest editor or co-editor of seven journals for the other international meetings. He is currently the advisory committee member of ICSI and ISTDM, and the chairperson of 154th committee on Semiconductor Interfaces and Their Applications in the University-Industry Cooperative Research Committees and the coordinator of Core-to-Core Program “International Collaborative Research Center on Atomically Controlled Processing for Ultralarge Scale Integration” of the JSPS. He is the recipient of the Yamazaki-Teiichi Prize (2003), a Fellow (2009) of JSAP, and received the Commendation for Science and Technology (2010) of the MEXT, Japan.
