Faraday Institution researchers can fast-track access to testing facilities
UK battery researchers can apply for rapid access to facilities at the Henry Royce Institute, UK.
Faraday Institution researchers have the option of a streamlined route to access key characterisation techniques for the quick investigation of electrode and electrolyte materials.
Early-career researchers are being encouraged to access the scheme by seeking support from a principal investigator/co-investigator of the Faraday Instution project they are associated with.
The scheme is intended to be:
- A signposting route for PhD researchers and Research Associates to techniques Royce has available.
- An access route for future use of more sophisticated or specialist characterisation techniques offered by Royce.
The Henry Royce institute says that available techniques included are:
- XPS (inert transfer)
- HAXPES (inert transfer)
- XRD (N2 glovebox)
- XAFS (pouch sealed)
- Transmission diffractometry (pouch sealed)
- ICP-OES
- Laser ablation ICP-MS
- Solution NMR (argon glovebox)
- SEM (inert transfer)
- Viscometer (argon glovebox)
- BET – N2 or CO2
