Through the Centre of Expertise in Advanced Materials and Sustainability (CEAMS), Levidian has collaborated with the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), and the Henry Royce Institute (Royce) at the University of Manchester to explore the development of next-generation battery technologies.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Levidian is a British climate technology business supporting decarbonisation across carbon-intensive industries. Amongst a range of other products and services, the company manufactures graphene – which was applied within the CEAMS project to investigate new battery chemistries and enable more sustainable and efficient energy storage solutions.
A new video from CEAMS highlights the collaboration, showcasing the unique expertise and facilities contributed by each partner in the project.
Through CEAMS, Levidian were able to access leading expertise in graphene through Royce and use materials supplied by the organisation to process, manufacture and test batteries at the National Graphene Institute using novel electrochemistry. The batteries were then characterised at NPL to provide valuable data on cycle stability and assess the most promising materials for electrochemical energy storage.
ABOUT CEAMS
The work carried out through CEAMS spans across diverse application areas, including the foundation industries, healthcare, batteries, textiles, construction, chemical production, packaging and more.
Each of these sectors has unique sustainability challenges, and CEAMS is at the forefront of addressing these through advanced materials solutions.
