Abstract submission is open for Symposium E.3 on In Situ/Operando and Computational Studies of Electrochemical Energy Materials at the International Materials Research Congress (IMRC 2017)(http://www.mrs-mexico.org.mx/imrc2017/). IMRC will take place in Cancun, Mexico, on 20-26 August 2017. Work combining first principles modeling and characterization of electrochemical energy systems (batteries, fuel cells, electrocatalysts, etc) is of particular interest. The deadline for abstracts is April 7.
