Welcome to PRiME 2012
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.

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

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 groups 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 Yildizs 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. Yildizs 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).

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 500C 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
