Electrochemical Characterisation
Development of new cell-level electrochemical characterisation techniques and data analysis methods. These include:
- improved design of experiments for parameterisation of empirical models (equivalent circuit models)
- Methods for characterising the kinetic behaviour of lithium-ion batteries
- Degradation diagnostic techniques to identify the causes of battery ageing
Lithium-Ion Battery Degradation
Performing large-scale degradation studies of commercial lithium-ion cells, from initial design of experiments all the way through to data analysis and visualisation.
- Controlling how a cell ages through careful experimental design
- Building bespoke equipment for accurate control of experimental variables
- Automating analysis of large datasets
- Applying new analysis techniques to gain deeper understanding of the causes of degradation, and how they can be mitigated
