Decarbonising the UK: how can electrochemistry help?
Friday 3 March 15:00 until 16:30
Chichester 3, 3R241
Speaker: Dr Gareth Hinds FRSC FIMMM FICorr CEng
Part of the series: Materials Physics seminars
The development of large scale energy storage technologies is critical to the UK strategy for decarbonisation of the electricity, heat and transport sectors. Electrochemical devices such as fuel cells, electrolysers, redox flow cells and batteries have the potential to provide a range of solutions for electric vehicle, grid storage and household applications. NPL has established world leading expertise in the development of novel in situ measurement techniques, modelling tools and accelerated test methods for electrochemical energy storage applications and is working closely with UK industry and academia to support materials and engineering innovation in this emerging sector. The primary focus is on providing more reliable diagnostic tools to facilitate the required improvements in system performance, lifetime and safety. This talk will highlight a number of significant advances made by NPL in this area and their impact on industry application.
