Hardwick, Laurence - University of Liverpool

个人简介

Laurence received a MChem in Chemistry in 2003 from the University of Southampton and a PhD in Chemistry from ETH-Zurich in 2006. Before joining the Stephenson Institute for Renewable Energy at the University of Liverpool he spent his postdoctoral time working at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and at the University of St Andrews investigating Li-ion battery electrode degradation mechanisms, lithium diffusion pathways through carbon and the chemical and electrochemical processes in Li-air cells. Laurence is the Director of the Stephenson Institute having taken on this role in 2017.

研究领域

Electrochemical energy storage is one of the key technologies to enable the green energy generation and transport revolution. Renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind and are intermittent, therefore in order to store this energy to be used when required, long-life, reliable and high power batteries are essential. This is an enormous challenge to a technology that previously has been indispensable, on a much smaller scale, as an energy store for portable electronics (mobile phones, laptops etc.). Battery performance characteristics and cost need also to be vastly improved for electric vehicles in order to persuade the majority of us to part with our petrol driven vehicles. Progress in the optimisation of electrochemical energy storage technologies is hampered by an absence of fundamental understanding of the reaction mechanisms involved in both the storage and side reactions. Our group’s experimental approach of advanced in situ (or operando) spectroscopy coupled with battery electrochemistry is revealing both the mechanism and order of chemical reactions, both favourable and unfavourable in these systems (Figure 1). This method will lead to the rational design of future advanced batteries.
