UltraStore Iron-Air Batteries for Low-Cost Long-Duration Storage
Deadline: 17:00, 5th October 2026
This call for proposals focuses on developing a single cell prototype of an iron-air electrochemical energy storage system with decoupled power and energy, targeting a discharge duration of 100 hrs. It may be particularly relevant for (but not limited to) researchers with expertise in:
|
|
- fluid dynamics of multi-phase flow
|
|
|
- aqueous battery chemistries
|
|
|
- suppression of hydrogen evolution
|
- aqueous electrolyte design
|
- Oxygen evolution and oxygen reduction cathode and catalyst development
|
Projects should apply this expertise to address the fundamental issues associated with iron-air batteries.

Faraday Institution Industry Fellowship
Deadline: 15:00, 1st October 2026
The Industry Fellowships are enabling academics (whether working on Faraday Institution research projects or not) and industrialists to undertake a mutually beneficial and collaborative energy storage research project. University researchers or members of UK industrial organisations are invited to apply for fellowships to advance a defined research project with commercial potential or which solves a critical industrial problem in an area that falls within the Faraday Institution's remit of electrochemical energy storage research.
