STFC Batteries annual network meeting

STFC Global Challenge Network in Batteries and Electrochemical Energy Devices are having their annual network meeting on 30th June – 1st July in Abingdon just south of Oxford, UK.

The meeting will include key note speeches on current research challenges in batteries, fuel cells and hydrogen storage, as well as presentations on the latest development at STFC facilities and user presentations of their applications to research in electrochemical energy devices. Confirmed speakers include:

  • Mike Thackeray – Argonne National Lab
  • Felix Buchi – Paul Scherrer Institut
  • Edwin Garcia – Purdue University
  • Angus Kirkland – Oxford University
  • Nigel Brandon – Imperial College
  • Massimo Santarelli – Politenico di Torino
  • Nick Van Dijk – ITM Power
  • Rohit Bhagat – WMG
  • Harry Hoster – Lancaster University
  • Martin Jones – ISIS Neutron Facility

Attendance at the meeting is free – read more about it and register for the event on their website stfcbatteries.org.

About STFC Global Challenge Network for batteries

The STFC Global Challenge Network brings together leading researchers in industry and academia with a shared interest in the application of large scale user facilities to address key challenges in battery science and technology

Large scale user facilities play a pivotal role in the development of new and improved electrochemical energy devices including batteries and fuel cells. The Network will promote collaboration between world-class users and developers of large-scale research facilities and provide a forum to draw together researchers from a range of disciplines. Network members will be encouraged to share latest technique developments and help disseminate cutting-edge research ahead of publication.

Jon Fold von Bülow

Jon Fold von Bülow recieved his Cand. Scient. in Nanoscience from University of Copenhagen in 2011 and is currently working with upscaling Li- and Na-ion battery materials to the 100+ kg scale for Haldor Topsøe A/S.

Jon's main interest lies in energy technologies for the future and he started working with fusion energy at Risø National Laboratory for Sustainable Energy. He has since developed a growing interest in technologies that are closer to potential industrial application. He is a highly dedicated academic as well as a very active professional and have initiated and participated in many different projects.

His studies within nanotechnological material science and affiliation with Risø National Laboratories has taken him to Germany, China and the US, where he has collaborated independently with several international research groups. He has so far succeeded in pushing two academic projects to industrial application, first with the Danish company Coloplast A/S and recently with a California-based battery start-up – an invention that is currently being US patented.

Jon has conducted most of his work on Li-batteries in the facilities of California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) as a research scholar at UCSB-MIT-Caltech Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies (ICB). The manganese based cathode materials he fabricated during this period were all tuned for high-power applications and covers synthesis of various manganese oxides from solution, molten and solid states.
