As well as investigating fundamental electrochemical processes, our research explores a broad range of application areas including:
The work is broad, from new materials to small-scale testing, demonstrator devices and operando studies of working systems.
The group is steeped in history. Established in 1967, it was the UK's first dedicated electrochemistry research group. Since 1969, it has run a world-renowned “Instrumental Methods in Electrochemistry” summer school. The group has evolved to focus and tackle modern day challenges with a strong interest on energy-related topics. Members of the group have authored more than 200 scientific papers since 2020, with the group attracting over £9M in research income over the last REF period (2013-2020). The group sustains a considerable portfolio of industrial contacts and partnerships.
Electrochemistry is the core discipline enabling a more sustainable future, especially in the areas of energy and the circular economy, contributing also to healthcare and the environment. It is now an exciting time to be an electrochemist and Southampton, with its long history in the field, is an outstanding place to be a part of.
