Book excerpt: The symposium ¿gElectrodeposition for Energy Applications¿h was held at the 213th meeting of The Electrochemical Society, May 18¿]22, 2008, Phoenix, AZ. Cosponsored by IBM and Agilent Technologies, this symposium has assembled researchers from different fields, demonstrating that electrodeposition is a convenient, cost effective, and enabling method for synthesis and design of materials and structures for efficient energy conversion and energy storage applications. This issue of ECS Transactions contains 16 papers from this symposium which are organized into three different chapters. They represent a valuable assembly of scientific information which will be of interest for many general readers and experts in particular fields.
