MPhil Renewable Energy - Energy storage

University of Exeter

The focus of this research group is predominantly on electrochemical energy storage technologies, including redox flow batteries, electrolysers for hydrogen production, fuel cells and supercapacitors. Activities are mainly directed at fundamental research at laboratory scale, particularly in the areas of catalyst development, electrode materials, fluid dynamics and electrolyte additives and composition. Based at the University’s Penryn Campus near Falmouth, we are a unique multidisciplinary department offering a range of specialised programmes, drawing upon our research expertise in mining and minerals engineering, applied geology and mineralogy, surveying and renewable energy. We offer postgraduates an outstanding research environment with state-of-the-art analytical facilities and laboratories and have excellent rates of graduate employment.Superb research facilities include a renewable energy laboratory and wind turbine. Our research is funded by the UK Energy Research Centre, UK Research Councils, UK Government Departments, the European Union and private institutions.
