Dr. Katsuhiro Wakamatsu,Research Assistant Professor, School of Engineering, Gives Presentation on Investigation on Solvation Environment of Redox-Active Species for Performance Enhancement in Thermo-Electrochemical Cells at The International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies 2025; Pacifichem 2025
Dr. Katsuhiro Wakamatsu, Research Assistant Professor at the School of Engineering, gave an oral presentation on thermo-electrochemical cells (TECs) at The International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies 2025 (Pacifichem 2025), which was held from December 15 to December 20, 2025, in Honolulu, United States of America. The presentation, entitled “Investigation on Solvation Environment of Redox-Active Species for Performance Enhancement in Thermo-Electrochemical Cells”, was delivered in the session “Advances in Electrochemical and Liquid-based Thermal Technologies for Waste Heat Utilization and Electricity Storage (#CES003).”
Pacifichem 2025 is an international conference jointly organized by seven chemical societies from Canada, Japan, the United States, New Zealand, Australia, Korea, and China. The conference is held with the aim of promoting research exchange and academic collaboration across all fields of chemistry, particularly within the Pacific Rim region. Researchers from many countries and regions participated in the conference, where cutting-edge research results were presented and actively discussed.
During the conference, lively discussions were held from interdisciplinary and international perspectives in the fields of electrochemistry, thermochemistry, and physical chemistry, including topics related to waste heat utilization, energy generation and storage technologies, and solvation effects of redox-active species. Dr. Wakamatsu’s presentation also attracted many questions and comments, deepening international understanding of the importance of solvation structure control in thermo-electrochemical cells and providing valuable insights and research exchange opportunities for future studies.
