Editorial 
This special issue of the Journal of Electrochemical Science and Engineering (jESE) is dedicated 

to selected papers contributed to the 6th Regional Symposium on Electrochemistry – South East 

Europe (RSE–SEE), held in Balatonkenese, Hungary, from 1115 June 2017. This issue constitutes 

Part 1 of the proceedings of the Symposium (6 articles). Part 2 will appear in the next issue of jESE. 

Following five successful symposia in Croatia (Rovinj, Red Island, 2008), Serbia (Belgrade, 2010), 

Romania (Bucharest, 2012), Slovenia (Ljubljana, 2013) and Bulgaria (Pravetz, 2015), the 6th 

Regional Symposium on Electrochemistry – South East Europe (RSE–SEE) was hosted in Hungary, 

supported by the electrochemical societies of the region. The scientific theme of the meeting 

“Renaissance of Electrochemistry in the 21st century and its effect on the development of South 

East Europe” underscored the key role of electrochemistry as a fundamental discipline bringing 

together societal needs from the one side and technology from the other side. 

Over the past 10 years this series of symposia has attracted an international group of scientists 

and engineers with broad experience in electrochemical measurement and modeling. Building on 

already established traditions, RSE-SEE6 crossed regional borders, creating a common platform for 

scientists and experts from regional and international research and industrial institutions who 

brought their extensive knowledge, novel ideas, and boundless enthusiasm to the conference 

venue. More than 110 participants from 24 countries presented papers (66 talks including 4 

plenary and 7 keynote lectures, 40 posters) and discussed recent progress during seven sessions 

(Electrochemical Energy Storage, Batteries, Fuel Cells and Supercapacitors; Analytical Electro-

chemistry, Sensors and Biosensors, Electrochemistry at Interfaces, Thermodynamic, Kinetic and 

Methodological Aspects; Electrocatalysis, New, Non-Noble Metal Catalysts, Electrochemistry of 

New Functional Materials, Conducting Polymers and Composites, General Session). 

We would like to acknowledge the financial and other support of the Hungarian Academy of 

Sciences, the International Society of Electrochemistry, the Furukawa Electric Group, Jászplasztik, 

Ametek, Zahner, Metrohm, PalmSens, Ivium and Paks Nuclear Power Plant.  

We wish to express our gratitude to the members of the Scientific and Organizing Committees 

for their continued dedication and support. 

We would like to sincerely thank the authors for their contribution, the reviewers for their 

commitment and professional work and the jESEEditorial Office for their invaluable assistance in 

the Proceedings publication. 

The next (7th) Regional Symposium on Electrochemistry – South East Europe will be held in 

Croatia in 2019.
