GeezerVison is showing www.faraday.ac.uk — The Faraday Institution - Powering Britain’s Battery Revolution
Latest News and EventsCall for proposals: Co-creation phase for HighPerCell BEACONThe Faraday Institution Transformational Challenges programme targets energy storage application challenges that have extraordinary impact potential, and where there are currently only conceptional solutions or ideas at the very earliest stages of research and development.
Insight 24: The Role of AI across Battery R&D and ManufacturingThe Insight addresses the potential of AI in battery development and production and its central role in the UK industrial strategy, along with current bottlenecks and challenges.
Research HighlightResearchers at the University of Cambridge have used a new optical technique developed by Illumion to show that in the early stages of charging lithium ions enter the graphite lattice in sudden, localised, intermittent jumps – like microscopic "avalanches".
Call for Proposals: Faraday Institution PhD and EngD Studentships (commencing October 2027)Proposals for the October 2027 PhD/EngD studentship cohort are sought in scientific and engineering fields relating to battery research, where the work demonstrates outstanding academic excellence while also responding to industrially relevant challenges.
Xerode – Transforming the electrode coating processA new method for dry electrode manufacturing, developed through a Faraday Institution Industry Sprint, is being commercialised by University of Sheffield spin-out Xerode.
Signal, not noise: A faster and more accurate characterisation of battery state-of-health during operationThe team at Oxford, working with Battery Dynamics, have developed a method for electrochemical impedance spectroscopy testing that allows the assessment of multiple frequencies at once, while a battery is operating.
About the Faraday InstitutionThe Faraday Institution is the UK’s independent institute for electrochemical energy storage research, skills development, market analysis and early-stage commercialisation. It brings together research scientists and industry partners to work on projects with commercial potential that will reduce battery cost, weight, and volume; improve performance, efficiency, and reliability; develop scalable designs; improve manufacturing abilities; develop whole-life strategies; and accelerate the outputs towards commercial outcomes. Read more about the Faraday Institution and our mission, vision and values. Research ProgrammeThe Faraday Institution research programme spans ten major research projects that bring together 25 UK universities, spanning a network of 500 researchers and 148 UK and 30 international industry partners to drive discovery in application-inspired research, working to solve some of the most challenging energy storage issues. Strand 1: Materials Development to Pack Design and PerformanceProjects within this strand harness world-class research to deliver advances in battery chemistries, materials systems, and engineered components by integrating advanced computational and experimental approaches to address challenges in battery performance, safety and reliability. Strand 2: Sustainable Manufacture, Scale-up and RecyclingThese projects target high impact areas to improve battery manufacturing cost, time and energy usage, by improving the fundamental understanding of key manufacturing processes including electrode manufacture. Research is embedding design-for-recycling principles into industry thinking and providing a UK EV battery industry with a pipeline of scalable technologies. Strand 3: Next-generation Technology Demonstrators and Transformational ChallengesThese projects accelerate the real-world validation of breakthrough battery chemistries by bridging fundamental research and practical demonstration. This strand advances research into, for example, solid-state, lithium-sulfur and sodium-ion batteries, from laboratory concept to practical use. Transformational Challenges target energy storage applications with extraordinary impact potential where only conceptual solutions currently exist. Battery technology is critical to electrifying transportation and energy systems and thus it is an essential part of fighting climate change. The Faraday Institution’s programme is improving the technology in many significant ways, speeding its adoption, and opening economic opportunities for the UK."

Our TeamThe Battery Innovation ProgrammeThe Battery Innovation Programme is a flagship of the UK Industrial Strategy, funded by the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade and delivered by Innovate UK. It is driving research, innovation and growth across the UK battery manufacturing sector. With government investment to 2030, the programme is building a stronger more connected battery ecosystem. Its mission is to commercialise cutting-edge UK technologies, support the clean industries of tomorrow, and strengthen the UK as a global launchpad for battery innovation – creating jobs and attracting long-term investment. It builds on the success of the Faraday Battery Challenge and its key delivery partners are the Faraday Institution (research), Innovate UK (business-led innovation) and UKBIC (scale-up).
