Project description
Training young researchers in electrochemical energy storage
Next-generation electrochemical energy devices such as redox flow or all-polymer batteries will play an important role in the future of sustainable energy. They can be widely used in portable electronics, electric/hybrid vehicles and stationary power stations. Funded under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie programme, POLYSTORAGE aims to establish a Europe-wide network to train 16 early-stage researchers in the field through doctoral programmes at local universities and in network-wide summer schools, workshops, conferences and research exchanges. POLYSTORAGE academic partners are internationally renowned for their research in polymer science and energy storage technologies. The project will also foster collaboration with industrial partners in the field of electrochemical energy storage.
Objective
POLYSTORAGE ETN aims to develop high quality training opportunities for 15 +1 ESRs (one financed with Australian funds) in the area of “Polymers for Next Generation Electrochemical Energy Storage”. The final objective is to train materials scientists who will be the future leaders to face some of the upcoming European energy and environmental challenges. Well-balanced combination of fundamental and basic material&polymer science with applied research in advanced energy storage devices is a key aspect of this training network. A comprehensive training programme has been designed at two levels including local activities such as enrolment in PhD programmes, local courses, etc, and network-wide activities such as sectorial secondments, 6 workshops, 2 schools and one final conference. The goal is to exploit the high number of potential synergies between innovative polymers and next generation energy storage technologies such as postlithium batteries, redox flow batteries, and all-polymer batteries. POLYSTORAGE gathers together 12 beneficiaries (incl. 2 industries) and 11 partners (incl. 9 industries). POLYSTORAGE academic partners are internationally renowned for their research and training activities in polymer science (Univ. of Jena, Univ. of the Basque Country, Univ. of Leuven, Univ. of Pau, Aalto Univ.) and energy storage (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Uppsala Univ., Politecnico di Torino, Imdea Energy, Nat. Inst. of Chem. and Deakin Univ.). The 11 European industries with complementary expertise are FAAM Research Center, E22 Energy Storage Solutions, Scania, Toyota Motor Europe, Evonic Creavis GmbH, TCI Europe NV, CALIXHE, Solvionic, Chemspeed, NETZSCH and Repsol. The industrial participants will have an active participation in the training activities and exploitation of the project results.
