Congratulations to Professor Aicheng Chen for being awarded the Electrochemical Society (ECS) Canada Section R.C. Jacobsen Award in recognition of his significant contributions to the functioning of the ECS Canada Section and his passion for the advancement of electrochemistry in Canada.
In September 2020, Cody Landry and Khash Ghandi conducted their ISIS beamline experiment from Canada, even though they couldn't be there in person due to COVID-19. They used remote access to control the beamline and gather data, thanks to help from beamline scientist James Lord and the ISIS team.
University of Guelph’s Aicheng Chen and his team have developed a new method called scanning photoelectrochemical microscopy to study how sunlight splits water into hydrogen and oxygen. This technique provides detailed images of the chemical reactions on a surface, which could help improve solar energy storage and hydrogen fuel production.

Welcome Prof. Leanne D. Chen as a new ETC member! We are excited to welcome Prof. Leanne D. Chen as a new member of the Electrochemical Technology Center.
With great sadness, we announce the passing of Professor Paul Rowntree. Paul, who served as the Director of the Electrochemical Technology Centre (ETC) from July 2006 to June 2013, will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Prof. Aicheng Chen at the University of Guelph is working on a $50,000 project to create ultra-thin, graphene-based coatings for face masks and PPE to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. This innovative coating aims to bind with and disinfect the virus, allowing for the reuse of protective equipment.
