We are delighted to announce the return of our webinars.

Please join us next Friday (23rd October) @1400 for an insightful talk by Prof Emma Kendrick; Chair of Energy Materials at the School of Metallurgy and Materials at the University of Birmingham

Title: From Pigments to Batteries

Abstract: Here I will introduce how I moved from pigment related research to fuel cells and then batteries and how the a functional ceramic can be used in many different types of applications. Although very dissimilar in application, the requirement to understand the structure-property relationships and the stability within a composite is not so very different. I will talk a little about how I moved from a pigment to a battery scientist, and then focus more on the recent work we have been doing on optimisation of sodium-ion battery technologies. Recent work looks at some of the manufacturing questions around sodium compared to lithium, and in particular optimisation of the life-time through electrode, electrolyte and formation methods.
