Electrochemical Energy Storage

One of the main applications of electrochemistry is in the storage of electricity. Ranging from the LeClanché (dry cell) to advanced Li-polymer and redox flow batteries, electrochemical science and engineering is fundamental to their development and understanding of operation. In the EIL we are developing new materials for improved performance and applying novel techniques to help understand how storage technology works. The Electrochemical Energy Storage Lab is part of the National Centre for Grid Scale Storage and hosts world-class facilities for analysis, testing and manufacture of energy storage technologies.
