Background

Demand is shifting towards faster charging batteries with higher energy capacity, stability and longer battery life, in addition to lower production costs, higher performance and increased safety. The University of Liverpool is one of the leading UK institutions for interdisciplinary research into energy storage, researching the materials, configuration and characterisation of batteries in operando, to better understand the behaviours of materials in electrochemical reactions and the mechanisms of cell deterioration.

The University has been leading a collaborative fact finding study, working with research institutions across the UK to better understand the how evaluation of advanced energy materials during their operation within an energy storage device can support advances in future electrical energy storage. The study will look at how electrochemical energy storage (EES) research can adapt to both current research priorities and rapidly changing innovations in energy storage.

Workshop Aim

The aim of the workshop is to bring together knowledge based researchers from across the UK with industry partners to better understand how information developed through primary research into battery characterisation can be used by others to:

- provide insights into their own materials and chemistries;

- explore what mechanisms can be used to share research outcomes;

- ensure acceleration of UK wide innovation;

- identify potential infrastructure gaps where there is a critical need for new R&D investment;
