Welcome and Thank you for starting a Focus Issue Proposal!
ECS welcomes proposals from the scientific community for projects that highlight scientific and technological areas of current interest and future promise that are expanding rapidly or take a new direction. Our focus issue projects create a collection of research, review, critical review,perspective, methods, and communication articles from our digital library that are expected to be read and highly cited. Your complete answers to the following questions provide Editorial Leadership with the information required to assess the proposal and commence the project if the proposal is approved.
