Battery Science
At Process-ED, we provide consultancy expertise to the rapidly evolving battery development sector. With the global push toward electrification and sustainable energy solutions, the need for advanced, efficient, and commercially viable battery technologies has never been greater.
Our strength lies in bridging the gap between fundamental research and industrial application. We collaborate with world-leading academic institutions to bring cutting-edge scientific understanding into practical, scalable solutions for manufacturers, investors, and technology developers.
Academic Partnerships
We have strong relationships with:
- University College London (UCL) – Chemical Engineering Department
- University of Nottingham – Chemistry Department
Both institutions are internationally recognised for their pioneering work in energy storage materials and electrochemical engineering.
Our activities in this area are coordinated with Dr Alexander Kibler, an Assistant Professor in Electrochemical Systems in the cutting-edge Advanced Propulsion Laboratory (APL) at UCL. There, he specialises in the design and manufacture of next-generation batteries. Combined with Process-ED’s process knowledge, this means we have expertise spanning materials development, cell design, diagnostics, operando analysis and an in-depth understanding of relevant scale-up considerations. By bringing together academia and industrial consultancy, this enables us to combine state-of-the-art research with real-world engineering and commercial insight.
Services Offered
We support organisations across the full spectrum of battery innovation — from concept to manufacturing scale-up:
