Direct-emissions from cement calcination (CaCO3-\>CO2+CaO), combined with concrete-related process-emissions (transport, process-energy etc), represent \>7% of global emissions. NERD's patented Graphene-Enhanced-Concrete (GEC), CONCRETENE(r), offers a pathway to mass-decarbonisation of the concrete-sector, but large-scale exploitation is currently blocked...

Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries are a promising energy storage technology for application where high performance, lightweight batteries are needed, such as in certain aerospace and electrical vehicle (EV) applications. This project focuses on the development of Quasi-Solid-State Li-S batteries that have the potential to significantly enhance the number of...

In civil and mechanical engineering, the design process is done almost entirely by computer. Similarly, a long-held goal in formulated product (FP) design is to shift from an ad-hoc labour-intensive process towards a more robust and adaptive computer aided formulation (CAF) paradigm. Significant progress has been made over the last two decades in utilizin...

"The Synergy project is focused on developing a step change in performance and environmental friendliness of lithium ion batteries to meet the needs of electric vehicles. It brings together the raw material, formulation, electrochemical knowledge and cell manufacture capabilities of Synthomer Plc (including Synthomer's polymer development team in Harlow a...

"One of the big challenges for electric vehicles is to meet the peak power requirements in all modes of operation, at all ambient temperatures. The automotive council has set targets for the power density of Li-ion batteries to quadruple by 2035\. This project will develop, test and scale-up new ultra-high-power cells for electric vehicle batteries that h...

The UK Niche Vehicle Battery Cell Supply Chain project brings together niche vehicle manufacturers and Tier1 developers and suppliers with the UKs only Li-ion cell manufacturer, a UK materials manufacturer, an automotive supply chain specialist and three prominent Research and Technology Organisations. It addresses a problem that affects many developers a...

he Lithium Sulfur: Future Automotive Battery (LiS:FAB) project will develop a next generation cell and module that is suitable for large electric vehicles such as trucks and buses. It will deliver a 400 Wh/kg Li-S cell that has the significantly improved power and cycle life required by large automotive applications. This cell will allow buses and trucks ...

Despite the UN's declared Human Right to Water Policy, almost 30% of the world's population does not have access to safe drinking water. Membrane-based water purification systems are a critical technology solution to address the global challenges of poor water quality, pollution of aquatic surface water sources, and water scarcity. Overcoming the inherent...
