The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, through UK Research and Innovation and the Industrial Strategy Challenges Fund, and in partnership with the Faraday Institution, invites intents to submit for the Faraday battery challenge – battery characterisation call. This supports research projects to develop battery-related characterisation analytical techniques and capabilities. This call is expected to lead to new characterisation and analytical techniques that will have the effect of strengthening the UK鈥檚 leading position in electrochemical energy storage technology, providing battery researchers with world leading methods and capabilities to advance their research.
Proposals must clearly identify how new characterisation techniques and capabilities would support improvements in energy density, power density, cost, safety, lifetime, predictability and recycling of batteries to realise the improvements necessary to mainstream new battery based technologies.
The PI must be resident in the UK and an academic employee at the lecturer or equivalent level at an eligible organisation, which may be an HEI, a research institute funded by a research council or an independent research organisation.
The total budget is worth 拢2 million for up to four projects of 21 months鈥� duration.
