"New method to check EV battery health in seconds"

A one-second battery test? Oxford and UCL researchers make it possible. A collaborative team led by Dr Shangwei Z. and Dr Rhodri Jervis (UCL), with Professor Paul Shearing (University of Oxford), has developed a rapid, non-invasive technique to assess the health of electric vehicle batteries in just one second. The new method, MMER (multi-channel, multi-frequency electrical excitation response), enables real-time battery diagnostics — a breakthrough for battery reuse, recycling, and second-life applications. The research is supported by the Oxford Martin School, the Royal Academy of Engineering, and The Faraday Institution. This innovation could help reduce waste, conserve critical materials, and expand global access to clean energy. 🔗 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dcGqNQCm #CleanEnergy #EVBatteries #BatteryReuse #SustainableEngineering #CircularEconomy #MMER #Innovation #EnergyStorage #BatteryRecycling

🚨 Welcome Professor John Irvine from the School of Chemistry, University of St Andrews 🚨 At #DriveToInnovate25 on September 11 at Silverstone 🇬🇧, Professor Irvine will deliver a keynote: “Materials at the Heart of the Energy Transition: Unlocking Innovation Across Land, Sea and Air” 🔑 In this keynote, Professor Irvine will explore how breakthroughs in materials science – from solid-oxide fuel cells to next-generation hydrogen and sodium-ion battery technologies – are enabling cleaner, more resilient, and scalable energy solutions. 🌍 Highlighting how advanced materials act as the true enablers of innovation, he will show how they drive progress across mobility, industry, and the wider energy ecosystem. ⚡ This perspective also connects to Prof Irvine’s leadership of NEXGENNA, a project of The Faraday Institution with Royce Partners, The University of Sheffield and University of Cambridge. NEXGENNA is accelerating the development of safe, sustainable, and scalable sodium-ion batteries – bringing down the cost of EVs and opening new frontiers in energy storage. 💡 As Dr. Nik Reeves-McLaren (NEXGENNA investigator) puts it: “The Empyrean opens a new window on the processes in sodium-ion electrodes, allowing us to much more rapidly optimise the next generation of cathode and anode materials for real applications.” 👉 Don’t miss this keynote at #DriveToInnovate25 – where materials meet mobility and the future of energy. 📍 Drive to Innovate 2025 | September 11 | Silverstone 👉 Register for free today: https://lnkd.in/gKDw8X5q #ww520 #ww312 #technology #markets #innovation #future #strategy

Researchers at Victoria’s Monash University have developed a new carbon-based material they claim allows supercapacitors to store as much energy as traditional lead-acid batteries, while delivering power much faster than conventional batteries can manage. #BatteryStorage #Australia #PVProjects

”The market for electric cars is growing, and so is the demand for batteries. My thesis examines where their environmental impact occurs – the extraction of raw materials, the manufacture of battery cells in large factories, and the handling of battery packs when they are no longer in use.”   The results of Mudit Chordia’s doctoral thesis show that because larger factories manufacture batteries much more efficiently, the supply chain for the materials has a major impact on how “green” these batteries really are, and our understanding of this in turn depends on the modeling choices.   Mudit will defend the thesis on 24 September.

🔁 From Science to Systems: Materials Innovation Driving National Impact Day Two of the Henry Royce Institute Conference yesterday brought the focus firmly on how #MaterialsScience is transforming our world and how it must now deliver real-world impact across sectors and systems. Ian Kinloch opened the day celebrating science then Paul Monks asked the provocative question "What have materials ever done for us?” The answer? Everything. 🏗️ From transport and buildings to power and industry, materials innovation is central to achieving #NetZero. We need: ➡️ New sorbents, membranes and catalysts ➡️ Hydrogen and carbon capture materials ➡️ Critical minerals and energy storage solutions ➡️ Circular economy models and responsible sourcing. 🧩 This is a systems challenge—and materials are the enablers. The UK government is backing this with £86m in #RandD funding to ensure translational activities drive innovation into delivery. Mission-led government is focused on growth, and the #MaterialsInnovationStrategy is now a platform for national impact. ⚛️ #Fission, through SMRs, offers a paradigm shift in energy production—creating 10,000 jobs per year while demanding new materials and skills. Carl H. Naylor reminded us that 2D materials and deposition techniques are powering the future of #electronics, with scaling challenges that require constant innovation. At #FISC, we’re proud to be part of this mission—where materials innovation meets systems thinking, where science becomes strategy, and strategy becomes impact. #MaterialsMatter #FISC #RoyceConference #NetZero #IndustrialStrategy #SystemsThinking #AdvancedManufacturing #CriticalMinerals #EnergyInnovation #SMRs #CircularEconomy #DigitalMaterials #UKGrowth #MissionLedInnovation

🔬 New Research Publication! 🔬 Thrilled to share our latest paper published in the *Journal of The Electrochemical Society*. We address a critical challenge in electric vehicle safety: diagnosing minor battery faults (like short circuits) in real-world BMS that use under-sampled voltage data. Our novel **static-dynamic compensation method** boosts the effective sampling frequency by ~8x, enabling early and accurate fault detection that traditional systems miss. Proud of the team for this work!
