WMG, University of Warwick
About
WMG is an academic department at the University of Warwick, with internationally recognised expertise and facilities in electrification and battery research and development. Recognized for excellence in research, teaching, innovation, and industry collaboration, WMG serves as a global role model for successful partnerships between academia and the public and private sectors. WMG’s state-of-the art Energy Innovation Centre (EIC) features facilities spanning the entire battery development process. Key areas of expertise include the development of new battery chemistries, manufacturing and engineering processes that are scalable from materials through to cell, system and application, advanced characterisation, systems engineering and control methods to optimise the creation and integration of energy storage technology across many sectors. Our Battery Scale-Up (BSU) facility can produce full-size prototype cells of consolidated and novel battery chemistries accelerating innovation from early-stage concepts to higher technology readiness levels (TRLs).

What does you company offer ?
WMG offers a complete development pipeline from materials research and cell prototyping to scale-up and advanced metrology through our state-of-the-art facilities within Energy Innovation Centre (EIC). Facilities cover the full production process including mixing (100 ml -lab scale- up to 10 L –pilot scale-), coating (roll-to-roll and drawdown), cell assembly (glove boxes and dry room) and testing (various battery testers - 5A, 10A, 100A - and controlled temperature chambers). We manufacture battery cells in a variety of different formats to suit project needs e.g. coin cell for rapid data generation or fundamental research, or cylindrical and multilayer pouch cell for device level testing at our Battery Scale Up (BSU) facility. A whole set of core facilities for material characterization are available for screening and characterization, including an Electron Microscope platform (TEM and SEM), X-ray analysis (XRD, XPS, XAS and XRF), Thermal Analysis (TGA and DSC ), IR and Raman spectroscopes as well as gas analysis (GC-MS). To advance the next generation of sustainable battery technologies, we are exploring innovative chemistries, materials, and manufacturing processes to push beyond the limits of current state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries.
