Tackling COVID-19 and supporting UK industry

Research

Electrochemistry

We work to secure a sustainable energy infrastructure for tomorrow

Our scientists apply specialist measurement expertise to accelerate development of energy storage technologies and underpin integrity of critical energy infrastructure

We support the development of energy storage technologies such as batteries and fuel cells, helping to build a greener and more sustainable infrastructure to power industry and society in the future.

We lead the establishment of international standards for materials selection in harsh environments, ensuring asset integrity across a range of industrial sectors.
