Descripción

The UCL Electrochemical Innovation Lab (EIL) is an important cross-faculty UK national research centre. It is currently working to build its international network, so is now exploring possibilities for collaboration with Cuban partners. The lab was established to accelerate impact, innovation, enterprise and research in electrochemical science and engineering. We explain how these objectives are being achieved by advancing research in mechanistic understanding of fundamental processes; materials discovery; analytical diagnostics and advanced manufacture; device design and development; modelling, optimisation and life cycle assessment; systems development and demonstration.
The achievements of the Lab are illustrated by our research programme for experimental discovery and characterisation of electrochemical energy materials and their incorporation into devices, with a focus on electronic and ionic charge transport.This case study of the UCL’s Electrochemical Innovation Lab’s work provides the basis for discussion of the potential for collaboration with the University of Havana, and possible paths of action.
