The 2021 NextGEN Energy Storage VIP team is now full.
You can join the Wait-list in case a position on the team becomes available
VIP Snapshot
Be part of the future energy solution! Energy is the driving force for all life on our precious planet. A sustainable and clean energy future depends on our ability to efficiently store large amounts of energy.
ChallENG research goals
We’ll develop new battery designs and materials to provide the most effective solutions and improvements by:
- Developing new, high-power density flow batteries
- Designing and developing high-temperature, high-power liquid metal battery cells
- Optimising and producing high-energy density storage materials
- Designing and production of high-performance electrolysis and gas recombination cells
- Optimising systems for hybrid fuel cells, liquid metal and flow batteries
- Fabrication methods to improve system performance
Research, design or technical ChallENG
- Computational modelling and validation of new energy systems
- Thermal modelling of various high-performance battery technologies
- Material selection and fabrication techniques
- Component optimisation
- Investigation of performance enhancing and stabilizing agents
- Overall system optimisation
