Research Topics
One of the main targets of the Electrochemical Processes Unit (ECPU) is to provide new concepts and technological alternatives for electrochemical energy storage. The energy storage systems developed by the ECPU are designed to be applicable to renewable energies, electrification of transport and the emerging nexus between water and energy. The research programme focuses on how newer materials and designs may improve the performance of these systems and on the application of electrochemical storage systems to renewable power generation systems, sustainable buildings and electric vehicles. In particular, the following Research Topics or technologies are currently being addressed at ECPU.
