Our Work
Battery technology is a rapidly growing sector, especially as a storage system for energy generated from low carbon/renewable sources. Adoption of battery powered electric vehicles is increasing and presents an opportunity for materials science to deliver new value to the charging infrastructure.
ICAM is focusing on developing the underlying science that will support the electrification of the transport sector and energy storage in increasingly sustainable ways. ICAM research currently focuses on the development of new and improved materials for rapid charging, specifically on silicon anodes in lithium-ion batteries, thermal management fluids and investigating 3D thermal-electrical modelling of a lithium-ion battery cell to improve battery lifetime and safety.
