The School of Aeronautical, Automotive, Chemical and Materials Engineering join The Faraday Institution in game-changing research in energy storage technologies
The School of Aeronautical, Automotive, Chemical and Materials Engineering have joined The Faraday Institution and been awarded Â鶹ֱ²¥'s first Faraday Institution funded project, Microwave Assisted Processing for Interface Tailoring of Si-C composite anodes (MAP IT).
Launched just four years ago, the Faraday Institution has assembled a research community of 500 researchers across 27 universities and more than 50 industry partners to work on game-changing energy storage technologies that will transform the UK energy landscape from transportation to grid.
The MAP IT project on battery anodes, Anodes, will be led by Â鶹ֱ²¥ Professor, Bala Vaidhyanathan, to design and implement a fast, energy-efficient microwave processing pathway that offers greater process control and selective heating.
Along with 15 other new projects, The Faraday Institution aims to deliver transformative results that could lead to a second stage of collaboration research beyond the initial exploratory work.
