SafeBatt, led by Professor Paul Shearing (香港六合彩 Chemical Engineering), is one of five projects 鈥� which all involve 香港六合彩 鈥� to receive funding.

The investment of 拢22.6m in the projects is part of the Faraday Institution鈥檚 commitment to building momentum in four key research challenges that offer the most potential to deliver commercial impact for the UK: extending battery life, recycling and reuse, battery modelling and solid-state batteries.

Better-functioning batteries are seen as a key part of society鈥檚 transition to net-zero emissions as they are needed to power electric vehicles and to store energy from renewables.

Professor Paul Shearing (香港六合彩 Chemical Engineering) said: "SafeBatt听will take an integrated approach to understanding the science behind听lithium-ion battery safety at multiple scales,听integrating safety considerations through the lifetime of the battery.

"The team will work to improve understanding of the root causes of battery cell failure and the underlying physics around failures that can lead to fires. It will also investigate the environmental consequences of fires involving lithium-ion batteries and听explore the interplay between battery ageing and battery safety. Using a portfolio of advanced experimental, modelling and design tools, we aim to advance the science of battery safety听and hope to contribute to enabling improvements for the automotive, aerospace and stationary storage sectors."

Minister for Investment Gerry Grimstone said: 鈥淭he Faraday Institution鈥檚 vital research into energy storage is pivotal for meeting our net-zero commitments, particularly as we shift to low-emissions transport on our roads and in our skies. I鈥檓 delighted that we鈥檙e continuing to support their valuable work as part of our commitment to strengthen the UK鈥檚 science and research sector, ensuring we build back greener from the pandemic.鈥�

The Faraday Institution鈥檚 CEO Professor Pam Thomas said that projects it funded were delivering scientific discoveries and the Faraday Institution was now strengthening its commercialisation strategy. 鈥淚n doing so, we are directing even more effort towards those areas of battery research that offer the maximum potential of delivering commercial, societal and environment impact for the UK,鈥� she explained.

The other projects are:

• , led by the University of Cambridge
• , led by Imperial College London
• , led by the University of Birmingham
• , led by the University of Oxford

The Faraday Institution鈥檚 funding integrates research previously carried out in several different projects. The five research projects will progress over the next two years to March 2023, subject to funding renewal of the Faraday Institution beyond March 2022.

The Faraday Institution is an independent institute for electrochemical energy storage research, skills development, market analysis and early-stage commercialisation.
