Powering Britain's
Battery Revolution

09/12/2024 - 12/12/2024
Attend AABC where chief battery technologists from leading automotive OEMs, and key members of the supply chain, discuss the latest technology trends in the rapidly expanding market of advanced vehicles and the batteries that will power them.
As part of the event, join our inaugural Faraday Adjunct Professorial Fellow at the University of St Andrews, Dr. Venkataraman Thangadurai, for his tutorial on Solid-State Batteries, taking place Monday 9th December from 1pm-2:30pm.
In this tutorial lecture, the development of state-of-the-art solid-state Li-ion and Na-ion electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries with emphasis on ionic conductivity and chemical and electrochemical stabilities will be discussed.
Dr. Venkataraman Thangadurai is a full professor and Chair in Energy at the School of Chemistry, University of St Andrews, Scotland, United Kingdom. He is the inaugural Faraday Adjunct Professorial Fellow at the University of St Andrews. He is elected Fellows of the Royal Society of Chemistry (UK), Royal Society of Canada, and the Electrochemical Society (USA). He has published more than 260 peer-reviewed papers in journals (H-index of 69). He has received the Keith Laidler Award from the Canadian Chemical Society (CSC) in 2016 and Research Excellence Award in Materials Chemistry from CSC in 2021. Dr. Thangadurai is founder of two start-ups based on his lithium-ion electrolytes research. His current research activities include the discovery of novel solid-state electrolytes and electrodes for advanced batteries and fuel cells.
