Project description
Researching surface and interface phenomena for energy storage
In order to achieve the necessary goals for reducing the damage caused by climate change, it is crucial to develop novel and improved batteries and other energy storage system technologies. This is essential as it would help address the challenge of fluctuating renewable electricity production. However, there has been limited research into the processes that control chemical and physical processes at surfaces and interfaces. The MSCA-funded StoreAGE project has the goal of establishing an innovative doctoral network dedicated to these processes, aiming to optimise them for enhancing existing energy storage systems and enabling the creation of more advanced ones. Additionally, the project will provide specialised training for PhD candidates in this field.
Objective
Energy storage systems are a crucial part to enable the transformation of our current economic system into a more sustainable one, to balance the fluctuating nature of renewable electricity production from wind and photovoltaics. There are many potential means of energy storage, that differ in their storage capacity and duration, such as batteries or redox-flow batteries.
A common factor in all these systems is the importance of processes on surfaces and interfaces that control the involved chemical reactions and physical processes. To improve the current and develop novel energy storage systems, detailed understanding and insight about these surface and interface processes is required.
The proposed Doctoral Network will gain insight into these highly relevant surface and interface phenomena. Advanced analytical techniques will be utilized to directly probe chemical and physical processes, relevant for the respective energy storage systems. Modelling and synthetic approaches will complement the understanding of these processes and allow the development of advanced materials and components for energy storage systems.
The gained knowledge will be directly applied on real world energy storage systems, provided by the involved industrial partners.
As these approaches are highly interdisciplinary, the new generation of researchers has to be trained to excel in such complex research and industrial environments. The proposed Doctoral Network will enable the PhD candidates to combine the most advanced scientific techniques (regarding analysis, modelling and synthesis) with the requirements of modern industry, in the dynamic field of energy storage systems. They will develop a deep scientific understanding of surface and interface processes and also the systemic knowledge to apply their skills in a broad range of industrial environments.
