Abstract
Summary
The battery is the most important component of electric vehicles, determining performance, range, vehicle packaging, cost and vehicle lifetime. The automotive industry is a UK success story, employing 814,000 people and turning over £77.5bn per year. The UK is home to Europe's largest automotive battery and EV manufacturer. Our automotive industry is committed to the transition from the internal combustion engine to electric vehicles, preserving and expanding jobs and prosperity. The UK will not succeed if it has to rely on Asian or US supply chains for batteries. It will not succeed by simply catching up with today's lithium batteries. We must leapfrog current technology by carrying out more effectively and at scale basic research in batteries and then translating it more seamlessly into innovation and manufacture. This is the ambition of the Faraday Challenge, announced and funded by government, with its three elements: the Faraday Institution (research), Innovate UK (development) and the Advanced Propulsion Centre (industrialisation). The Faraday Institution, in particular, must invest in the UK science and engineering base so that it drives innovation, delivering leading edge battery technology for Britain.
We propose to establish the Faraday Institute headquarters (FIHQ) as an independent organization, based at Harwell, the centre of UK science, and with a satellite office at the National Battery Manufacturing Development Facility once completed. It will not belong to any University or group of universities, nor be aligned with particular companies. It will be a UK resource. The FIHQ will be governed by an independent board drawn from academia, industry and independents. It will contain an Expert Panel bringing together in one organisation the UK knowledge base in batteries. The Expert Panel will translate industrial needs for better batteries into specific research challenges and scope calls for proposals from the University sector to carry out research to meet these challenges. It will support intellectual leadership to the Research Projects within the universities, review the projects, advise the board on allocation and reallocation of resources and stop/start of projects. Dedicated personnel will work to ensure research with the greatest scope for exploitation is transferred to innovation and ultimately manufacture. Intellectual property will be owned by the universities but pooled, forming a portfolio of battery IP with a value greater than the sum of its parts. The headquarters will run a training programme. This will include are PhD cluster with the students placed in the universities alongside the FI Research Projects but also with a strong cohort ethos across the Faraday institution. Training for industry and government will be a strong element of the FIHQ activities. . By carrying out strategic research in batteries as a nationally managed portfolio and with greater scale and focus, we will not only enhance the quality and capacity of UK battery research, but also establish the UK as the go to place for leading battery technology. By doing so we will supporting the future UK manufacturing industry, jobs and prosperity.

Planned Impact
IMPACT SUMMARY FOR JES
Together with the rest of the Faraday Challenge, the FIHQ will push research through to commercialisation to attract inward investment in the form of two gigafactories (or equivalent) in the UK by 2030 and £10bn's of value for the UK from cell/ pack manufacture.
Firstly, we will develop a better understanding of what industry really needs. Using the close links between the FIHQ and Faraday Challenge Advisory Board, on which the FI Director and Chief Scientist sit, we will ensure better translation of industry needs into UK battery research. Through our expertise we will also inform industry on the latest global developments and suggest where they can be competitive. Secondly, we will strengthen the pipeline from research through scale up to industrialisation, ensuring alignment between the FI, Innovate UK and the APC activities, and thus fostering and accelerating the translation of research into technology and its commercialisation. Thirdly, we will build an accelerated process for commercialisation, recognising that not every innovation needs to pass through the formal chain of research, scale up and industrialisation to reach the market, with its decade-long (at least) timescale. We will build a programme for rapid "spin outs" of promising technology and will offer "spin ins" to UK SMEs - allowing those with promising ideas, but lack of capital, to access our facilities and equipment in order to develop their ideas. Finally, we will develop the capabilities that industry needs. In addition to the research breakthroughs we deliver, an equally important output of the FIHQ is to ensure that we build the knowledge and capabilities in batteries that industry need to be more competitive. We will build better battery capabilities in the UK industrial base through a national training curriculum and coordination for the different institutions to deliver it.
By the end of 2017, we will put processes in place to take action in each of these four areas. We will also develop metrics to chart our progress: estimating the value created by our research (enterprise value of companies/ products, investment, jobs, exports); and tracking the number of people trained up for industry and academia. In addition, as we are the first of the ISCF programmes, we want to share our experience (both successes and missteps) with subsequent ISCF programmes to assist them in developing their own approaches.

| Description | The Faraday Institution (FI) brings together research scientists and industry partners on projects with commercial potential that will reduce battery cost, weight, and volume; improve performance and reliability, and develop whole-life strategies including recycling and reuse. It leads 10 major battery research programmes involving 500+ researchers across 27 UK universities and 85+ industrial partners. To date has published 650+scientific papers many in high quality journals with a host of international collaborators. As an example of the cutting-edge science it enables, FI researchers at the University of Oxford have made significant advances in understanding why solid-state batteries fail as a first step to enabling mitigation strategies that would unlock the commercialisation potential of this exciting class of batteries for automotive applications. It is directly training 71 PhDs for UK industrial and academic careers, with an additional 100+ affiliated with its projects, contributing to delivering the skills gap for the green jobs of the future. It has identified 36 inventions, with 6 patents granted and a further 18 patents filed. It has shaped government policy through 16 Faraday Insights, 10 major reports, 7 national consultations, including a House of Commons inquiry and a House of Lords inquiry. Facilitating public engagement with the transition to an electrified future, it has co-hosted 6 Royal Institution events, attracting 290,000 online viewers. Further detail is covered in our annual report, which is available at: https://www.faraday.ac.uk/2021-22-annual-report/ |
| Exploitation Route | The projects and the FI are in increasingly regular contact with commercial partners as legislation and customer demand rapidly moves towards the electrification of various industries. This was borne out during the latest Faraday Battery Challenge Innovate UK funding round in January 2023 where 6 applications based on FI research were successful. https://www.faraday.ac.uk/round-5/ It's links with industry continue to grow. To March 2023, the organisation has supported 8 entrepreneurial, spin-outs, 15 industry fellows & 11 industry sprints. The FI actively manages its projects in terms of IP protection and value creation. The 500+ FI researchers are gaining invaluable training in the electrochemical energy storage field and are a significant resource pool for businesses hoping to expand in this area in the UK. The FI PhD scheme provides an excellent training ground, both in energy storage technologies as well as soft skills and wider industry awareness through delivery of a structured training programme. The first FI PhD researchers completed their training in the autumn 2022 and a fifth cohort has begun their training. The portfolio of FI funded papers is increasing rapidly - one paper is currently published every 3-4 days, with a total of over 650+ published to date. These papers are cited approximately twice as often as would be expected for the field and are published in high quality journals - 92.8% appear in the top quartile journals, with 63.6% in the top 10% of journals. |

| Description | The four large, multi-disciplinary projects were launched in March 2018, covering solid state batteries and metal anodes, the degradation mechanisms of high nickel chemistries, multi scale modelling of battery systems, and reuse, recycling and the circular economy. These were joined in October 2019 by five large projects researching lithium-sulfur chemistries, next generation electrode design and production, sodium-ion chemistries, and two projects looking at next generation cathode formulations. In April 2021, a tenth project, SafeBatt was initiated, focused on the science of battery safety. These major research programmes involved international collaboration, with over 500 researchers at over 100 institutions, from five continents. Faraday Institution publications are of measurably high quality. 92.8% appear in the top quartile journals, with 63.6% in the top 10% of journals. Notably, 43.9% fall into the top 10% most cited publications worldwide, which serves to raise the UK average Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) in the research domains in which the Faraday Institution operates (chemistry, materials science, energy, physics, chemical engineering, engineering, environmental science). Faraday Institution publications have 10421 overall citations, with 17.7 citations per publication on average. In the last year the Faraday Institution has further refined an analytical methodology - T-SCAN - to assess early-stage commercialisation potential for each of its research projects. The assessment results in a bespoke approach to commercialisation tailored to each project, the prioritisation of limited resources and the development of consortia that are investment ready. The process has substantial input and support of the academic research teams and industrial partners (where relevant). The assessment is made up of the five components: Technology, Significance, Competition, Action and Investment The FI has also continued to develop and build its strong collaborative links with a wide range of industrial partners. Today, more than 85 companies proactively provide support and direction to the research projects. The FI's projects and commercialisation team maintain active relationships with these companies and leverage their significant expertise and know-how to help accelerate research breakthroughs towards commercial outcome. Alongside its 10 large research projects programmes in 2020 the FI launched an Industrial Fellowship Scheme to promote academic/industrial collaboration. These projects allow for academics to spend between 50-100% of their time working on a specific industry related challenge in collaboration with an industrial partner. The scheme has proven popular with 15 funded. They are generating results in fields as diverse as quantum magnetometry and particle morphological control, which are of course directly commercially applicable. Six entrepreneurial fellowships have also been awarded to facilitate the creation of new business opportunities that have emerged from FI research programmes and from the broader UK battery research community. These spin-outs - About:Energy, Breathe Battery Technologies, Cognition Energy, Gaussion, Qdot and Solveteq are flourishing, growing their staff, attracting investment and launching commercial products. In June 2022 The Faraday Institution today awarded 16 small, fast-paced, focused projects in areas not covered within its existing battery research portfolio. In doing so it has widened its research scope, and set of university partners, in an initiative that will inform future priorities for its research programme beyond March 2023. The FI has impact outside its main research base, covering engagement, education, technology transfer, and economics and market insights. The FI has established itself as the go-to source of information for battery related topics, with nearly 200 pieces of news coverage in the FI 2021-22, including tier 1 publication, trade press and online. The popular PhD cohort programme is currently training 71 researchers. These doctoral candidates undergo a structured programme covering industrial, economic and soft skills alongside their technical training. 100 further PhD researchers are employed on FI projects and funded by partner universities. Additionally, the FI enables over 50 paid undergraduate internships in battery science and engineering each summer. The organisation engages with partners worldwide through the World Bank Energy Storage Partnership, the Shell Foundation, the Global Challenge Research Fund and the Carbon Trust. It manages projects funded by the FCDO Transforming Energy Access programme into sodium ion batteries and smaller research projects on flow batteries that would facilitate the green energy transition in emerging economies. In the policy space, 16 Faraday Insights have been published: evidence-based assessments of the market, economics, commercial potential, and capabilities for energy storage technologies and the transition to a fully electric UK. The insights are concise briefings that aim to help bridge knowledge gaps across industry, academia, and government. The FI regularly engages with the UK government consultations on various energy storage related topics, including the transition to zero emission vehicles. |

| Title | EP/S003053/1 - An automated algorithm for rapid analysis of li ion battery materials |
| Description | Vast quantities of powder leave production lines each day, often with strict control measures. For quality checks to provide the most value, they must be capable of screening individual particles in 3D and at high throughput. Conceptually, X-ray computed tomography (CT) is capable of this; however, achieving lab-based reconstructions of individual particles has, until now, relied upon scan-times on the order of tens of hours, or even days, and although synchrotron facilities are potentially capable of faster scanning times, availability is limited, making in-line product analysis impractical. This work describes a preparation method and high-throughput scanning procedure for the 3D characterization of powder samples in minutes using nano-CT by full-filed transmission X-ray microscopy with zone-plate focusing optics. This is demonstrated on various particle morphologies from two next-generation lithium-ion battery cathodes: LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 and LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2; namely, NMC811 and NMC622. Internal voids are detected which limit energy density and promote degradation, potentially impacting commercial application such as the drivable range of an electric vehicle. |

| Title | FIRG001 - In-situ Raman to characterise the degradation process |
| Description | Using in-situ Raman to characterise the degradation process accruing in Li-ion batteries, key parameters can be identified and monitored from the corresponding Raman signal. The charge/discharge process on a single graphite flake over long time cycling (up to 50 times at 1/2 0C), can be observed via subtle changes of the signal, and used as an early diagnostic probe during the degradation process. Both the shear mode and the layer-breathing mode, due to the relative motion of the graphene sheets at the ULF range, usually fall below the notch and edge filter cut-off of many spectrometers. To this end, we have developed an in-situ, ultra-low frequency (ULF) Raman technique. We expect that the ULF signal will reveal useful information regarding the degradation process during battery cycling. We have also assessed the possibility to use machine learning to analyse in-situ Raman data. The purpose here is to create a diagnostic tool for the identification of key parameters and degradation causes during battery cycling. |

| Title | FIRG001 - Kerr Gated Raman Spectroscopy for the study of Li-ion Batteries |
| Description | Kerr gated Raman is also an effective technique to suppress the fluorescence background in Raman experiments, thereby providing extra sensitivity via use of lower wavelength laser excitation in order to allow detection of surface layers and solid electrolyte interphase compounds on battery electrodes. Kerr gated Raman is based on the different time-dependence of fluorescence and Raman scattering signals upon short-pulse optical excitation. While fluorescence has a finite lifetime in the order of hundreds of picoseconds (ps) to nanoseconds (ns), Raman scattering is instantaneous and follows in time the initiating laser pulse within picoseconds (ps) or femtoseconds (fs). Such distinct time-domains for these two processes opens up a technical opportunity for separating them, provided an ultra-fast gating mechanism of the optical signal is coupled with the excitation pulse. Kerr gated consists of a non-linear medium carbon disulphide (CS2), which acts as a half-wave plate due to a transient anisotropy induced in the medium by a high-energy gating laser pulse (? = 800 nm, 1 ps). When gating laser pulse and excitation laser are timed appropriately, the polarisation of the Raman signal is rotated by 90° vs. the slower fluorescence emission signal, resulting in an effective transmission of the Raman scattering by the two crossed polarisers, while the fluorescence is mostly blocked. |

| Title | FIRG025 - Data from: "Lithium-ion battery degradation: measuring rapid loss of active silicon in silicon-graphite composite electrodes" |
| Description | Dataset from the publication "Lithium-ion battery degradation: measuring rapid loss of active silicon in silicon-graphite composite electrodes". Full experimental details can be found in the related publication in ACS Applied Energy Materials: https://doi.org/10.1021/acsaem.2c02047 Commercial 21700 cylindrical cells (LG M50T, LG GBM50T2170) were cycle aged under 3 different temperatures [10, 25, 40] °C and 2 SoC ranges [0-30, 0-100]%, with multiple cells tested under each condition. Cells were base-cooled at set temperatures using bespoke test rigs (see pubilcation for details). All electrochemical data were recorded using a Biologic BCS-815 battery cycler. Break-in cycles: Prior to any ageing or performance checks, all cells were subject to 5 full charge-discharge cycles as part of the break-in procedure. This consisted of a 0.2C charge to 4.2 V with CV-hold till C/100, and 0.2C discharge to 2.5 V (repeated for 5 cycles). Cells were rested under open circuit conditions for 2 hours after each charge and 4 hours after each discharge. These break-in cycles were performed at 25°C for all cells. Ageing Conditions: Ageing Conditions Expt SoC Range C-rate Temperature # of cells Cell IDs 1 0-30% 0.3C / 1D 10°C 3 A, B, J 1 0-30% 0.3C / 1D 25°C 3 D, E, F 1 0-30% 0.3C / 1D 40°C 3 K, L, M 5 0-100% 0.3C / 1D 10°C 3 A, B, C 5 0-100% 0.3C / 1D 25°C 2 D, E 5 0-100% 0.3C / 1D 40°C 3 F, G, H For cells aged in the 0-30% SoC range, each ageing set consisted of 256 cycles over the 0-30% SoC range (discharge to 2.5 V, charge by passing 1500 mA h (== 0.3*nominal capacity)). C-rates were 0.3C for charge, and 1C for discharge. For cells aged in the 0-100% SoC range, each ageing set consisted of 78 cycles over the full SoC range (discharge to 2.5 V, charge to 4.2 V with CV hold till C/100). C-rates were 0.3C for charge, and 1C for discharge. Reference Performance Tests (RPTs): All cells were characterised at beginning of life (BoL) and after each ageing set using a reference performance test (RPT). The RPT was always performed at 25°C. Two different RPT procedures were used: a longer procedure which was performed after each even-numbered ageing set, and a shorter procedure which was used after each odd-numbered ageing set. Both procedures are detailed below. A CC-CV charge at 0.3C to 4.2 V, 4.2 V till C/100 was performed between each step of the procedures. Long RPT procedure: C/10 discharge-charge cycle between the voltage limits (2.5 V and 4.2 V). C/2 discharge-charge cycle between the voltage limits (2.5 V and 4.2 V). GITT discharge at 0.5C; 25 pulses with each pulse passing 200 mA h of charge, with 1 hour rest between pulses; lower cut-off voltage of 2.5 V (but continued test for all pulses). GITT discharge at 0.5C; 5 pulses with each pulse passing 1000 mA h of charge, with 1 hour rest between pulses; lower cut-off voltage of 2.5 V (but continued test for all pulses). Short RPT procedure: C/10 discharge-charge cycle between the voltage limits (2.5 V and 4.2 V). Hybrid CC-pulse test with average current of C/2. A baseline DC current of C/2 was applied with an HPPC-type profile superimposed on top. This was done for discharge and charge (with voltage limits of 2.5 V and 4.2 V). Hybrid CC-pulse test with average current of 1C. A baseline DC current of 1C was applied with an HPPC-type profile superimposed on top. This was done for discharge only (with a voltage limit of 2.5 V). Extracted Data - Main One csv file exists for each cell being tested, summarising the important data extracted from the ageing cycles and the RPTs. This includes: Ageing Set: numbered 0 (BoL) to x, where x is the number of ageing sets the cell has been subject to. Ageing Cycles: number of ageing cycles the cell has been subject to. *this is not equivalent full cycles. Ageing Set Start Date/ End date: The date that each ageing set began/ ended. Days of Degradation: Number of days between the date of the first ageing set beginning and the current ageing set ending. Age Set Average Temperature: average recorded surface temperature of the cell during cycle ageing. Temperature was recorded approximately 1/2 way up the length of the cell (i.e. between positive and negative caps) using a K-type thermocouple. Units: °C. Charge Throughput: total accumulated charge recorded during all cycles during ageing (i.e. sum of charge and discharge). This is the cummulative total since BoL (not including RPTs). Units: Ah. Energy Throughput: as with "charge throughput", but for energy. Units: Wh. C/10 Capacity: the capacity recorded during the C/10 discharge test of each RPT. Units: mAh. C/2 Capacity: the capacity recorded during the C/2 discharge test of each even-numbered RPT. Units: mAh. 0.1s Resistance: The resistance calculated from the 25-pulse GITT test of each even-numbered RPT. This value is taken from the 12th pulse of the procedure (which corresponds to ~52% SoC at BoL). The resistance is calculated by dividing the voltage drop by the current at a timecale of 0.1 seconds after the current pulse is applied (the fastest timescale possible under the 10 Hz recording condition). Units: Ohms. Extracted Data - Degradation Modes: Degradation Mode Analysis (DMA) was also performed on the C/10 discharge data at each RPT. This analysis uses an optimisation function to determine the capacities and offset of the positive and negative electrodes by calculating a full cell voltage vs capacity curve using 1/2 cell data and comparing against the experimentally measured voltage vs capacity data from the C/10 discharge. The results of this analysis are saved in the DMA folder, with 4 csv files for each cell, which contain data for all RPTs. The 4 files contain: Fitting parameters: output from the DMA optimisation function; 5 parameters which detail the upper/lower lithitation fractions of each electrode and the capacity fraction of graphite in the negative electrode. Capacity and offset data: calculated based on the fitting parameters above alongside the measured C/10 discharge capacity. DM data: Quantities of LLI, LAM-PE, LAM-NE, LAM-NE-Gr, and LAM-NE-Si calculated from the change in capacities/offset of each electrode since BoL. RMSE data: the root-mean-square error of the optimisation function calculated from the residual between the measured and calculated voltage vs capacity profiles. Timeseries data from RPTs: Timeseries datafiles from the Biologic battery cycler which have been exported to csv and sliced for each step of each RPT procedure to help with future use of the data. Files contain [time, voltage, current, charge, temperature] data. Jupyter Notebook: A jupyter notebook has been included to aid futher use of this data. The notebook shows how to load the data into pandas DataFrame objects and provides a couple of example plots to view the datasets. Notes: A faulty electrical connection to cell A of Expt 5 (i.e. one of the cells being aged at 0-100% SoC at 10°C) during RPT4 led to erroneous results for that performance check (as evidenced in the 0.1s resistance value). The faulty electrical connection was fixed prior to subsequent cycling but the RPT was not repeated. We have kept the data collected during this RPT as part of the dataset, so caution should be used when using this specific portion. |

| Impact | This dataset provides robust and extensive evidence on the ageing behaviour of a commercial lithium-ion battery as a function of temperature and state-of-charge. It reveals the negative impact that silicon has on the lifetime of cells containing silicon-graphite negative electrodes, and how the rate of ageing is usage-dependent. There is currently a dearth of high quality, open source datasets on the ageing behaviour of commercial lithium-ion cells. These types of dataset are essential for the parameterisation of empirical degradation models and for validation of physics-based degradation models. This dataset will therefore be an extremely valuable resource for the MSM project and the wider battery modelling community |

| Title | FIRG028 - DFT calculations - model |
| Description | In SafeBatt's modelling activities, e.g. using HPC, through DFT calculations much data has been collated on the species and complexes present in the reaction system of Li-ion battery thermal decomposition. The thermokinetic data calculated from DFT is required to determine the reaction kinetics of individual reaction steps, critical to defining a micro-kinetic model. Currently, this includes 10s of species and 100s of complexes. As the calculations required to determine these values can take significant computational and labour time it is a valuable resource. This data will be made available upon publication of the work. |

| Title | FIRG028 - image processing toolbox t allow quantification of high-speed X-ray radiography image |
| Description | High-speed X-ray radiography is proven to be a valuable tool to capture events occurring during cell failure, but the observations made remain largely qualitative. UCL has developed a robust image processing toolbox that can quantify, for the first time, the rate of propagation of battery failure mechanisms revealed by high-speed X-ray radiography. Using Gabor filters and cross-correlating the Gabor signals, practical, illustrative spatiotemporal maps of the failure events are produced. From these, the propagation rates of electrode displacement prior to the onset of thermal runaway can be quantified. The assistive toolbox can also be used to study other types of failure mechanisms, extracting otherwise unattainable kinetic data. Ultimately, this tool can be used to not only validate existing theoretical mechanical models, but also standardise battery failure testing procedures. |

| Organisation | Nyobolt |
| Country | United Kingdom |
| Sector | Private |
| PI Contribution | The Industry Fellowship is in partnership with Nyobolt Ltd. and has supported the success and expansion of the company through the rapid development of industry relevant prototype battery cells utilizing the company's world leading materials. As reported in the FI Success story (https://www.faraday.ac.uk/success-stories/accelerating-nyobolts-drive/), 'The prototype devices developed under this program were essential to demonstrate the potential of Nyobolt's technology and, in so doing, helped secure a £8m Series A investment for Nyobolt early in 2021. This investment helps to ensure the continued future growth of Nyobolt, to build battery technology leadership in the UK and to enhance the battery supply chain in the UK.' Furthermore, the project PI was interviewed and presented information as part the investment process to potential investors. Through the ongoing work together, the company's expansion and growth is being supported through new product prototyping and demonstration, along with knowledge transfer and training activities provided at the laboratories at Coventry University by project fellows to Nyobolt's staff. This knowledge transfer is ongoing and has included several visits of Nyobolt staff to Coventry labs but also a visit of project PI to Nyobolt facilities in USA. The Coventry team has also been involved in advising on and specification of equipment and facilities as Nyobolt expands and plans for the future, along with enabling access to facilities for cell development and testing not otherwise available. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Nyobolt has offered insight and training into the business aspects of a start up and how it develops through regular communication and mentorship of the PI by the company's CEO and other senior staff. Extensive training and knowledge transfer has been given to both Fellows in areas of battery development from the Nyobolt staff and consultants. This knowledge has come from an industrial environment and is not generally available to the academic community and has had a considerably positive effect on the the University staff with huge learnings that are not available in the academic press, with the non-proprietary information being utilized in training the scientist of the future in the Coventry University labs. The association with Nyobolt has brought commercial and academic R&D opportunities that are being pursued through the publicity that has come, along with the introductions made by the company of project staff to their network and also through the association with what is seen as a ground breaking technology and material. Introductions made by Nyobolt have opened avenues to suppliers of battery components and materials not previously available (often difficult to engage such suppliers in battery industry as a University). |

This is supported by the declared ambitions of governments to phase out fossil fueled vehicles, including: Norway (2025), Ireland (2030), The Netherlands (2030), France (2040) and the UK (2040). This task explores the incentives, investments and infrastructure needed to support this growth and how policymakers should respond to this changing market. It will collect learning and best practice from existing and planned large scale deployments of EVs around the world. The task will also explore the role of governments in supporting this growth, including requirements to ramp-up supportive policies and how best to phase-out incentives and financial support. The objective of the task is to highlight key global developments, provide insights on the role of policymakers in accelerating the uptake of EVs and offer guidance on how best to phase out public support. It will seek to answer three key questions: What are the incentives, investments and infrastructure that will drive growth in markets for EVs? How can the public and private sector work together to accelerate widespread uptake of electric vehicles? How will public policy need to change over time?

Policymakers and other stakeholders forecast and plan an important role for EVs in reducing GHG and other emissions from transport. Several countries have announced a full or partial transition to ZEVs for personal cars with an important role for BEVs. With this projected mass deployment of EVs, attention is drawn to potential supply chain issues for several Critical Raw Materials (CRMs) needed for EV manufacturing. For materials, like Lithium, Cobalt, Graphite and Rare Earth Elements news headlines referring to these (potential) supply chain issues are now frequently seen in the main stream press. Reference is for example made to a potential lack of supply of these critical material availability or undesired environmental impacts or social impacts. |

| Organisation | University of California, Davis |

| Sector | Academic/University |
| PI Contribution | provide information around ReLiB and LCA specifically |
| Collaborator Contribution | Utility-scale electricity storage technology is crucial for achieving California's ambitious target of 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2045 because of the intermittency of solar and wind resources. Large format batteries are being rapidly adopted to meet storage demand, with lithium ion batteries in particular seeing enormous increases in production and improvements in performance. At the same time, new battery chemistries and technologies are emerging that aim to improve on performance and cost, and could diversify material resource dependencies. For example, flow batteries are one such technology, and within this technology several classes are being developed that vary substantially in flow cell types, electrolytes, and required balance of systems. The type and quantity of natural resources consumed and pollutants and wastes generated by current and future technologies over their life-cycles vary among technologies and particular classes. Therefore understanding and anticipating the life-cycle impacts of battery technologies is important to maximize their benefits. Applying life cycle assessment (LCA) to utility-scale batteries faces a number of key challenges including: (1) deficiencies in reliable data, (2) scale-up of bench-scale operations to full scale, (3) uncertainties in the use and end-of-life phase modeling, and (4) lack of consequential models for the inputs and outputs. All of these challenges are intensified for emergent technologies. In this workshop, we will discuss the current status of and the key barriers to applying LCA to utility scale batteries. We will also identify the key areas that need further research and developments to overcome such barriers. |

| PI Contribution | NPL scientists apply specialist measurement expertise to accelerate development of net zero energy technologies. We have successfully developed a unique on-chip multimodal platform with the capability of conducting different innovative measurements, such as three-electrode testing, in-situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) and surface-enhanced Raman. This platform provides a clean surface and well-controlled configuration and could be used for other in situ measurements at NPL. Meanwhile, as a promising next-generation negative emissions technology, lithium-CO2 batteries, have garnered substantial attention due to their distinctive ability to utilise CO2 as reactants in advanced energy storage. The Li-CO2 batteries we developed enrich the net zero energy technologies. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The Electrochemistry Group at NPL provides free access to the temperature-controlled environmental chamber for evaluation and reliability assessments of the Li-CO2 batteries, and the Electronic and Magnetic Materials (EMM) Group provides free access to surface analysis & interface characterization, including in-situ/ex-situ molecular vibrational spectroscopy. |
| Impact | We have successfully built the in-situ Raman testing system at NPL and adopted it to investigate the products changes at the discharge and charge process.

| Collaborator Contribution | Electrochemical energy storage systems can provide grid stability and efficient energy vectoring in areas where demand is increasing but supply is restricted. Working with key partners in the UK and stakeholders in Africa, this project will develop a low-cost (<$100/kWh), soluble lead flow battery to promote grid stability and secure, clean supply in off-grid generation in Developing Economies in Africa, including Botswana and Sierra Leone. A unique advantage of the proposed battery is the ability to use recycled conventional automotive batteries for its manufacture, thereby creating a local supply chain and servicing capability. To guide system design and aid in cost reductions, a techno-economic assessment of the soluble lead flow battery using the new electrolyte system will be performed in parallel with experimental developments thereby fast-tracking best approaches. |

| Country | Ireland |
| Sector | Charity/Non Profit |
| PI Contribution | FI can provide, through its partners, world-leading characterisation capability that spans materials, electrochemistry, system performance and safety to support the STEPS project. Faraday Institution has partnered with NREL in the USA to provide this capability to the World Bank Energy Storage Partnership. In addition, the FI research programme is set up to be capable of quickly mobilising resources for "Sprint" projects which swiftly address specific technical challenges. This capability will enable support to SME's participating in the project. In addition, FI will bring relevant techno-economic and policy and regulation analysis capability. The current research projects are looking at both near term development and optimisation of Lithium-ion technology (the current benchmark for energy storage) as well as research into new approaches such as solid-state, lithium-sulfur and sodium ion. The FI is investing in characterisation projects aimed at technique development which would aid materials development and model validation for the FI research project as well as supporting projects and initiatives across the wider EU battery community. |
| Collaborator Contribution | STEPS will strengthen the competitiveness of NWE innovative storage providers by using a user-centric, demand-driven approach to bring products closer to market. STEPS will drive down the time energy storage SMEs typically spend on technology demonstration before reaching market maturity from an average of 5 years to 1-2, while maintaining maximum commercial usability. As the NWE is increasingly investing in distributed renewable energies (e.g. roof-mounted solar PV), the need for medium capacity energy storage solutions becomes apparent, with a market potential reaching €250bn by 2025. Heavily subsidized batteries from the US and Asia outpace EU suppliers through price-competition, and currently supply 80% of the storage market in NWE. Many of these mass-produced solutions are not tailored to the needs of local market segments including, e.g. housing providers, energy cooperatives and business parks. These use cases could benefit from tailored storage technologies, new technologies or adapted business models (e.g.Storage-as-a-Service). Innovative NWE storage products are currently stuck at TRL5/6 and face significant barriers, ranging from fragmented regulations & funding sources, limited testing abilities and unawareness of final consumers. |

STEPS will drive down the time energy storage SMEs typically spend on technology demonstration before reaching market maturity from an average of 5 years to 1-2, while maintaining maximum commercial usability. As the NWE is increasingly investing in distributed renewable energies (e.g. roof-mounted solar PV), the need for medium capacity energy storage solutions becomes apparent, with a market potential reaching €250bn by 2025. Heavily subsidized batteries from the US and Asia outpace EU suppliers through price-competition, and currently supply 80% of the storage market in NWE. Many of these mass-produced solutions are not tailored to the needs of local market segments including, e.g. housing providers, energy cooperatives and business parks. These use cases could benefit from tailored storage technologies, new technologies or adapted business models (e.g.Storage-as-a-Service). Innovative NWE storage products are currently stuck at TRL5/6 and face significant barriers, ranging from fragmented regulations & funding sources, limited testing abilities and unawareness of final consumers. |

| Title | FIRG003 - DandeLiion |
| Description | DandeLiion is a robust and extremely fast solver for the Doyle Fuller Newman (DFN) model, the standard electrochemical model for (dis)charge of a planar lithium-ion cell. DandeLiion conserves lithium, uses a second-order spatial discretisation method (enabling accurate computations using relatively coarse discretisations) and is hundreds, to many thousands, of times faster than its commercial competitors. It can be used in the 'cloud' and does not require installation before use. Its linear scaling property means that the disparity in performance is even more pronounced for bigger systems, making it particularly suitable for thermally coupled simulations of pouch/cylindrical cells. Currently the basic functionality of DandeLiion is available via a cloud service at http://www.dandeliion.com but more advanced features that have been developed, such as thermally coupled 3-d simulation tools for pouch cells, design tools and an implementation of an energy conservation law will be released behind a pay wall. |

| Title | FIRG003 - crystal_torture |
| Description | crystal-torture provides a Python API for interrogating site connectivity and diffusion pathways in partially blocked crystal structures. An interface is provided for parsing pymatgen Structure objects (Ong et al., 2013) as inputs, which are used to construct network graphs of connected sites. These graphs can be interogated to identify sets of sites forming connected clusters, which can be converted to pymatgen Structure objects for visualisation or further processing. crystal-torture can identify which clusters are periodic along one of more lattice directions, thereby identifying the clusters that form percolating networks. For each cluster, the microscopic tortuosity can be calculated, using a breadth-first-search algorithm. For each site in a periodic cluster, this finds the shortest periodic pathway to that site's periodic image. The number of nodes visited along this pathway is used to calculate the microscopic tortuosity. The code also includes routines for introducing varying proportions of blocked sites into a parent crystal structure, which allows automated analysis of how site connectivity and microscopic tortuosity varies with stoichiometry, for example under varying concentrations of dopant atoms. |

| Results and Impact | "Putting Science to Work" Radio 4 Programme on Mitigating Air Pollution in Cities, with Jim Al-Khalili. As described in the BBC website: As the recent VW scandal reminds us, the exhaust from petrol and, in particular, diesel cars are damaging our health. So what can science do to help? Jim Al-Khalili invites three scientists into the studio to explain how their research or technology could help reduce pollution from dirty car exhausts. Professor of Chemistry, Tony Ryan makes the case for smart materials that absorb noxious gases. If only everyone could treat their jeans with nanoparticles that that clean up the air as they walk around town. Professor Clare Grey and her team are working on the next generation of batteries for electric cars. And engineer, Bernard Porter is a champion of hydrogen fuel cells. So, which technology is best designed to help us reduce air pollution in our cities? Who deserves the lion's share of Jim's imaginary pot of research funding to help us tackle this problem?. Outcome - lion share of funding allocated to CPG |

| Results and Impact | Gave a talk at the 26th Solvay Conference. The Solvay Conferences ("Conseils Solvay") are prestigious conferences in physics and chemistry that have been running for a century - this conference marked the 100th anniversary of the first Chemistry conference - and have played a key part of the history and development of science. In terms of organisation, an international scientific committee has << carte blanche >> for defining the general theme of the conferences and selecting the chair person. The conference chair sets up the programme (i.e., decides specific subjects and sessions) as well as the invitations. One characteristic feature of the Solvay Conferences is the emphasis on discussions over presentations. Typically, Solvay Conferences are divided into half-day sessions. Each session begins with one or two reports reviewing the state-of-the-art of the subject (and distributed to the participants before the start of the Conference), followed by vivid discussions steered by the chair of the session. Participation to the "Conseils Solvay" is by invitation only. In addition to the guests selected by the chair of the conference, a number of Belgian scientists working in the field of the conference are invited to attend as auditors. |

| Geographic Reach | International |
| Primary Audience | Postgraduate students |
| Results and Impact | As part of the SFTC Batteries network this webinar discussed the use of x-ray CT for studying redox flow batteries and materials. Abstract: Redox flow batteries (RFBs) are seen as a promising technology for grid-scale storage given their rapid reversibility and separation of power and energy capacities, the latter being dependent purely on the volume of electrolyte utilised in the device. Most RFBs employ carbon fibre based electrodes that act as both the reaction surface for redox half-reactions and the diffusion medium through which the electrolyte is flowed. Understanding of the microstructure of the carbon electrodes is therefore vital in order to understand how the batteries behave under different conditions. Recently, the potential of X-ray imaging as a diagnostic tool for the performance of carbon felts has been demonstrated, and the use of structural information obtained from X-ray computed tomography (CT) in modelling of the pressure drop at varied compression has been explored. X-ray CT has also recently been used in the characterisation and modelling of electrospun fibrous mats with fibre sizes much smaller than those used in commercially available carbon felts. In this talk I will discuss the use of in situ X-ray CT for the determination of various parameters such as porosity, tortuosity factor and pore size distribution of flow battery materials. In addition, the Lattice Boltzmann method is applied to structures obtained from X-ray CT of electrospun carbon fibre mats in order to understand the fluid flow properties of the electrode materials from their microstructure. |

| Results and Impact | On Tuesday 10 March 2020, during British Science Week, the Buckinghamshire Federation of Women's Institutes (BFWI), a charity, is held its annual Investigation and Discovery Day (I&D). Every March the BFWI holds an I&D covering STEM subjects with around 280 members. The audience is from a diverse background but all will have an interest in science, be eager to learn and the more cutting edge the subject the better. In 2013 the Institute of Physics was impressed by the I&D initiative and gave us an award to finance the next conferences. Taim is to invite high calibre speakers who are talented at explaining their subjects to lay people. |

| Results and Impact | We report on our development of a method to measure macroscopic diffusion coefficients in silico by analysing molecular-dynamics (MD) data. Application of Onsager's regression hypothesis to the macroscopic constitutive laws for multicomponent Stefan-Maxwell mass transport allows application of Casimir's fluctuation theory, which shows how the decay rates of certain autocorrelation functions relate to macroscopic mutual diffusivities. The autocorrelation functions are then determined numerically, using periodic MD simulations in the Gibbs ensemble. As an illustrative example, we compute the diffusivities for a ternary Lennard-Jones gas mixture, a case where the diffusivities measured by MD can be compared to diffusivities determined analytically by the Chapman-Enskog kinetic theory. The ultimate application of this method will be to quantify component activities and transport properties in liquids, with the ultimate aim of studying electrochemical transport properties in electrolytic solutions. *Faraday Institution battery challenge grants FIRG003 and FIRG007 |

| Results and Impact | Lithium-Ion Batteries Help Power Civilizations, But How Can They Be Recycled? November 6, 20195:57 PM ET Heard on All Things Considered All Things Considered (ATC) is the flagship news program on the American network National Public Radio (NPR). It was the first news program on NPR, premiering on May 3, 1971. It is broadcast live on NPR affiliated stations in the United States, and worldwide through several different outlets, formerly including the NPR Berlin station in Germany.[1] All Things Considered and Morning Edition were the highest rated public radio programs in the United States in 2002 and 2005.[2][3] The show combines news, analysis, commentary, interviews, and special features, and its segments vary in length and style. ATC airs weekdays from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (live) or Pacific Standard Time (recorded with some updates; in Hawaii it airs as a fully recorded program) or from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. A weekend version of ATC, Weekend All Things Considered, airs on Saturdays and Sundays. Researchers are worried that the lithium ion batteries powering our phones, and soon our cars, will turn into a big waste problem. They're trying to figure out how to recycle them. |

| Results and Impact | Louise Horsfall was invited to join a select group of international experts for a high-level discussion of the opportunities and challenges of tackling climate change through practical initiatives involving emerging technologies, financing mechanisms, and carbon markets. The Global Dialogue Centre aimed to bring together around thirty thought leaders from academia, business, policy institutes, and international organisations from around the world online on 29th September 2022 for an open and lively invitation-only, dialogue to discuss the options for use of innovative technologies, financing mechanisms, and carbon markets to tackle climate change. One session was devoted to each if these three topics, starting with short opening remarks to lay out the main issues challenges on reaching the targets agreed at COP 26 and by the European Union, United Kingdom, United States and China for reaching "net zero". Participants were invited to share with the group their assessment of the options for different initiatives that would enable these targets to be met and to debate the practicality and relative advantages and disadvantages of different approaches. The "Chatham House rules" were followed for this discussion to capture (unattributed) the ideas and policy options that arise from the discussion in a report which can inform public discourse |

| Results and Impact | Jyoti Ahuja (post-doctoral research fellow with Robert Lee attended and presented at the Batteries and Recycling Foundation International conference in India. India is preparing for an EV transition in 2020, with fleets of electric vehicles already now in increasing use in public transport (including e-taxis, buses and e-rickshaws). the presentation focussed on regulatory imperatives for safe and sustainable use of EV batteries. India represents a large potential EV and LiB market, and the conference was attended by academics as well as representatives from some of the major automotive, battery and recycling companies in India, including Ashok Leyland, Nomura Foundation, Exide and Tata. The conference was also attended by national-level policymakers, such as the Niti Aayog (which is the policy think-tanks of the Indian Government). the presentation sparked off lots of debate around policies for safety, implementation of these policies, liability stemming from LiB use and end-of-life management of LiBs. This was followed by a request from the policy commission lead for EVs for support/consultation in drafting appropriate and safe regulations and policies for EV end-of-life management. |

| Results and Impact | Visit to Valley School to deliver two back to back sessions to 90 primary pupils (180 students in total). Following an intro, we did some short whole group activities and then each PhD ambassador took on a group of 30 students. They helped them to make and understand the potato batteries they made. The pupils enjoyed the sessions and there were lots of great questions which showed how well they understood the group intro. We related batteries back to work of the our EPSRC projects on batteries and fuel cells. We also discussed more generally with students "what a scientist" looks like - a few were shocked that two of our scientist don't wear spectacles, which goes to show how important it is for them to meet real scientists and break down some of these ideas. Teachers feedback indicated that we increased the students chemistry knowledge, linked the work to the curriculum and they are likely to organise a visit again. Their comments were "the kids loved it" and "the kids really enjoyed it". |

| Results and Impact | Sustainable energy storage solutions are going to be an essential part of the transition to net zero, and chemical scientists are key to making this happen. In our new series of videos, we meet four scientists who are working on sourcing, retaining, and recycling the materials and rare elements in batteries. Professor Emma Kendrick's work aims to rethink how we approach the whole life cycle from battery design and manufacture, to monitoring them in use and reclaiming materials at end of life. |

| Results and Impact | Dissemination presentation by Maxim Zyskin. The Enskog method is an asymptotic method that provides solutions of the Boltzmann equation close to local equilibrium. The method predicts ki- netic properties of gases, such as Stefan-Maxwell diffusivities, in terms of certain collision integrals. We describe a method to compute collision in- tegrals, and a method of molecular dynamics simulation of Stefan-Maxwell diffusivities based on Onsager's regression hypothesis. We investigate how analytical predictions compare with molecular dynamics simulations for mix- tures of Lennard-Jones gases and experiments with mixtures of monatomic gases. We apply the Enskog method to derive continuum-level model equa- tions. Within the limitations of Enskog's method, these results identify with a set of multi-species transport equations that Goyal and Monroe recently derived using the alternative theory of irreversible thermodynamics. |

| Results and Impact | Presentation at the annual March Meeting of the American Physical Society. The event attracts a diverse international community of roughly 10,000 scholars to exchange ideas at the cutting edge of current physics research in a wide range of topics involving theoretical, experimental, and computational advances and to offer the next generation of physicists insight into many exciting career opportunities. Stefan-Maxwell diffusivites describe drag created by relative motion of components in continuum multi-species transport models. They are key phenomenological parameters within the concentrated-solution theory of liquid electrolytes, which is important in battery modeling. In general, Stefan-Maxwell coefficients depend on composition, temperature and pressure. Those parameters can be measured experimentally, and we review some of the results and modelling challenges. It is desirable to develop robust microscopic methods that allow Stefan-Maxwell diffusivities to be computed from first principles, rather than relying on experimental data. A method that uses molecular dynamics and computes Stefan-Maxwell diffusivities by exploiting Onsager's regression hypothesis has been proposed. We investigate the method in the test case of gas mixtures where analytic results from kinetic theory, as well as experiments, are available. We discuss extension of the method to liquid electrolytes. *Supported by Faraday Institution Multi-Scale Modelling project, EPSRC grant no. EP/S003053/1.FIRG003 |

| Results and Impact | presentation to disseminate research at the Pre - Rarified Gas Dynamics Workshop Goyal and Monroe(1,2)propose an irreversible-thermodynamics-based approach to multi-species transport, which isbased on mass, momentum and energy conservation laws, thermodynamic identities following from a basis in theGibbs-energy functional, and a requirement of positive local entropy production. In the simplest case of constanttemperature and pressure, and in the absence of overall convection, those equations include species mass continuity+?() = 0,whereciare species concentrations andvivelocities, and Stefan-Maxwell relations,-?=?-,which express the gradients of chemical potentialsin terms of the drag induced by relativemotion of species. Here Dijare Stefan-Maxwell diffusivities corresponding to such relative motion; they are symmetric inthe indices and their values must be chosen to ensure positive entropy production. These diffusivities play an important rolein continuum transport theory. As techniques that focus on the atomistic scale develop, such as molecular dynamics (MD)or the classical kinetic theory of gases, it is increasingly important to understand how to extract properties relevant tocontinuum theories. This connective task is complicated by the fact that the transport matrix in the Stefan-Maxwellformulation is singular, and therefore cannot be inverted to find all the velocities; inversion can only be performed againstthe choice of an overall convective velocity.In a recent paper, Monroe, Wheeler and Newman(3)proposed a method for computation of Dijfrom MD simulations.The method is based on the Onsager 'decay of autocorrelation functions' hypothesis (informally, the 'regressionhypothesis'), which asserts that autocorrelation functions of Fourier-transformed fluctuations of density satisfy macroscopicequations for the corresponding densities, linearized about an equilibrium state.We test the outlined approach for the case of Lennard-Jones gas mixtures. We compute Stefan-Maxwell diffusivitiesfrom MD simulations based on a numerical implementation of Onsager's regression hypothesis. The method hinges on anovel MD thermostating method which breaks the periodic cell into a non-thermostated sub-box, surrounded by athermostated bath. MD results are compared with analytic results obtained via application of the Enskog asymptotic methodto the multi-species Boltzmann equation for a Lennard-Jones gas mixture, which involves careful computing of certainscattering integrals.(4)We compare MD and analytic results with available experimental data for gas mixtures.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSThis research is supported by Faraday Institution multi-scale modeling project, EPSRC grant no.

Meeting these legally-binding emissions targets will require a comprehensive rethink of how the UK power system - a central enabler of the transition to Net Zero - is developed and operated. While work is underway to facilitate the near-term replacement of fossil-fuelled generation with renewable technologies, less attention is given to the end state - the operation of a fully decarbonised power system. This report - by Energy Systems Catapult in collaboration with the Faraday Institution and supported by TNEI - presents fresh thinking about a zero carbon system and how it will be operated. It focusses on some of the key parameters that make up the system operation, and is intended as a starting point to generate conversation and debate. Read the key findings and download the report. https://es.catapult.org.uk/report/zero-carbon-energy-system-the-operability-challenge/ |

| Results and Impact | BBC Points West, 4 October 2022, Paul Christensen, FI researcher and Professor at Newcastle University interview on e-bike safety after a death at a block of flats in Bristol On example of the media work carried out by Paul Christensen Professor Christensen is expanding his research to address how to tackle vapour clouds generated by Li-ion batteries that fail in indoor settings such as tunnels and car parks, as well as residential buildings. The growing popularity of e-bikes and e-scooters is a particular concern in this respect; 170,000 of the bikes were sold in the UK in 2020, a 70% year-on-year increase. The bikes are usually fitted with Li-ion batteries, and routinely kept and charged indoors by their owners, meaning a fire could have devastating consequences, particularly in shared accommodation in urban areas where access is limited. Professor Christensen is in the process of applying for funding from the Fire Service Research and Training trust, and plans to study the vapour clouds by conducting experiments in the full-sized buildings located at the Fire Service College. In the summer of 2022 he undertook a trip to Australia and New Zealand giving 10 lectures on tackling EV fires in 9 cities (including Hobart and Wellington) in about 18 days, 10,200 miles around Australasia. > 650 first responders, gov reps etc attended in total. https://www.faraday.ac.uk/success-stories/research-breakthrough-increases-safety-of-lithium-ion-batteries/ |

| Results and Impact | Organised by the Early Career Research Committee, the first in-person Early Career Researcher (ECR) conference and training event was held 31 October to 1 November 2022. The event, held in Warwick enabled development opportunities both for the committee and attendees, in the focus areas of networking, learning, contributing and acting. In what proved to be an energetic, large in-person event, more than 280 ECRs were able to reconnect with their peers after two years dominated by lockdowns. 70+ researchers presented research talks and 45 presented posters at the event, giving opportunities for many researchers to take the next step in developing their confidence at delivering presentations in a supportive environment. The event had a strong careers focus - with insight from researchers at JLR, Rho Motion, start-ups and a careers café. Attendees also had the opportunity to participate in a choice of six high quality training workshops (including in project management, design thinking, grant writing and scientific writing from training providers Nature, BodyTalk, Skillfluence and Scriptoria). |

| Results and Impact | "With the global population of urban areas set to increase by 50% to 6.7 billion by 2050, managing mobility in cities will be crucial. Micromobility has the potential to substantially reduce congestion and pollution in urban areas and increase productivity. However, several challenges are currently facing the micromobility industry, including rider and battery safety. The UK needs to ensure regulation and safety keep pace with burgeoning transportation choices." The report concludes that widespread adoption in the UK will require: • Further research into battery failure to improve battery safety and reduce the risk of fires related to charging; • New regulations to set battery safety standards and encourage safe charging behaviours, as well as labelling of battery chemistry and recycling potential; • Development of a regulatory regime which ensures adequate testing of battery pack BMS systems for micromobility vehicles (MMVs); • Consideration of whether the manufacturing and consumer markets for MMVs need stricter regulations and product standards; and • An information campaign to promote standards and charging behaviours. • Overall, the UK needs to quickly consider how to include MMVs in the UK's transport strategy, taking incorporating the benefits for consumers and any implications for safety, infrastructure and sustainability.

| Results and Impact | UK Government news release: UK Government Minister for Scotland Malcolm Offord was given a preview of the new battery prototyping facility, or 'dry lab', located at the campus at the former paper mill in Guardbridge, St Andrews, partially funded by the Faraday Institution. The special ultra-low humidity environment is the first of its kind in Scotland, and will enable companies and researchers to develop and evaluate battery prototypes before they are manufactured in battery gigafactories. In the dry lab the atmosphere is treated to greatly minimise moisture, creating conditions that allow battery materials to be handled and tested for the most efficient battery operation. The principal technology produced will be pouch cells - these are stacked together to form large-scale batteries for either electric vehicles or static power storage, both of which are essential to the transition to a net-zero economy. Commenting on the dry lab UK Government Minister for Scotland Malcolm Offord said: This dry lab is exactly the sort of facility that Scotland and the UK require to develop our future battery industry. This will help to deliver on the Prime Minister's priorities to grow our economy and create better-paid jobs by putting the country at the cutting edge of the transition to net-zero. The UK Government is investing £24.5 million in the Eden Campus as part of more than £2.2 billion for levelling up right across Scotland. The £4.7 million Dry Lab Project is supported by £3.3 million from the UK Government as part of its £24.5 million investment in the Eden Campus through the Tay Cities Region Deal. The Scottish Government is also investing £2 million in the Eden Campus through the deal, and further funding for the lab is coming via the Scottish Enterprise Advancing Manufacturing Challenge Fund and the Faraday Institution. |

| Results and Impact | In June 2022 the Faraday Institution published an update to its study "UK Electric Vehicle and Battery Production Potential to 2040", last updated in March 2020. The study answers the question, "What is the maximum opportunity for EV and battery cell production to be based in the UK by 2030 and 2040, and what actions need to be taken now, and by whom, to ensure that this opportunity is captured?" The Faraday Institution predicts that there will be demand for ten UK-based gigafactories (large, high volume battery manufacturing facilities) by 2040, each producing 20 GWh per year of batteries. While there is growing optimism for the UK battery manufacturing industry, redoubling of efforts is needed to keep pace with investments across Europe. As of 22 Dec 2022 the report had 2000 website downloads The publication of the report was accompanied by a news release https://www.faraday.ac.uk/news-ev-battery-prod-2040-update-june2022/ The report publication was covered by (amongst others) Marketwatch Transport and Energy BEIS twitter BEST Magazine Quad (alumni magazine of Oxford University) Green car Congress Kallanish Commodities Batteries News Government Office of Science and Engineering Newsletter It was quoted by articles in the Observer and Express in July to demonstrate the need for UK gigafactories • The Observer, 2 July, Labour pledges to create 30,000 jobs at electric car battery gigafactories • The Express, 3 July, 'Flying the British flag high' UK to be EV 'leader' as SECOND gigafactory plans unveiled The report was quoted in a letter from the Coventry City Council to the PM https://www.coventry.gov.uk/news/article/4301/councillors-write-to-prime-minister-about-the-gigafactory Which gained significant coverage |
