The Warwick Centre for Experimental Fuel Technology (CEFT) is aiming to develop innovative next generation fuel cell and battery technologies.
A key feature of the Centre’s work is that technology developments will be underpinned by fundamental understanding, either using a range of innovative techniques and workflows already available at Warwick (and some invented here) or by developing new methods.
The Centre is an exciting venture bringing together leading research groups in the Department of Chemistry, Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) and the School of Engineering at the University of Warwick.
With world-leading expertise and facilities in electrochemistry, materials chemistry, spectroscopy, microscopy, modelling and battery and fuel cell construction and testing, we aim to develop next generation electrochemical energy technologies through holistic views of fuel cells (especially ammonia fuel cells) and metal and metal ion (Li, Na, Ca etc.) batteries, from the nanoscale to device level.
Other fuel cell and battery technologies can also be explored as part of the Centre.
These two roles will lead our efforts in electrocatalysis, charge storage and membrane science, by combining nanoscale electrochemistry, microscopy and imaging, and operando measurements.
We shall take nanoscale understanding of electrocatalysis and charge storage through the lengthscales to inform the development of practical devices.
This is a great opportunity for an individual with imaginative ideas and aspirations to make a significant contribution to strategically important and growing area at the University of Warwick that will have global impact and visibility.
