CECG sits in Coventry University’s £50m Centre for Advanced Low Carbon Propulsion Systems, established to partner with the propulsion system supply chain and accelerate the progression to carbon-zero transport. We are focused on four core research areas: Electrochemical energy storage; Hydrogen fuel cells; Power electronics & Electric machines. Our facilities enable wide range of activities in energy storage research – from cell assembly, through formation to precise battery grading and diagnostics, performance and safety evaluation, to recovery. Particular focus is put on advanced battery diagnostics – developing novel thermodynamic sensing techniques, such as thermal, electrochemical, pressure, magnetic, strain and other, ranging from miniature quasi-reference electrodes, co-located micron-scale temperature probes, to nano-plasmonic fibre-based lithium sensing, from in-cell up to module level deployment. In combination with in-house Machine Learning capabilities and adaptive BMS, our custom battery diagnostics approach can offer game changing advances in Battery Management Systems and battery behaviour tracking and prognostics.
