Electrochemical Engineering

Bridging the gap between electrochemistry and chemical engineering, electrochemical engineering aims to harness and optimise valuable electrochemical reactions for practical applications. This includes engineering effective power sources such as batteries, fuel cells and supercapacitors, as well as using electricity to drive chemical reactions, such as hydrogen and chlorine production.

Batteries including Li ion, Li-sulfur, Na ion, Zn ion, solid state and redox flow chemistries to enable low cost grid-scale energy storage
