Speaker: Professor Magda Titirici, Imperial College London
Batteries and catalytic processes are key for delivering the green industrial revolution by storing the intermittent renewable energy and releasing it when is needed most to decarbonise our economy across various sectors. Yet, battery materials and catalysts for various sustainable technologies (i. e. green H2 generation and conversion) are facing real challenges as they are based on critical and expensive metals.
“I will present a few examples of creating sustainable materials based on widely available resources while creating circular economy of recycling biowaste into advanced materials and implementing them in sustainable energy technologies, from new battery chemistries to important catalytic processes using renewable electricity for H2 production and utilisation.”
Magda Titirici is a Professor of Sustainable Energy Materials in the department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London and a RAEng Chair in Emerging Sustainable Technologies. Her research interests are in discovering more sustainable solutions for engineering energy storage and conversion technologies looking holistically across the entire life cycle while focusing on the materials design and fundamental understanding of their structure-performance.
She has published over 300 highly cited publications in this area . Magda is the recipient of 2021 Kavli Medal and Lecture from the Royal Society and the Grifith Medal from the Institute of Materials and Mines.
