Department of Chemical Engineering & Biotechnology researchers secure €3 million grant for next generation of sustainable energy solutions
A team of researchers led by senior academic Professor Sam Stranks,Department of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology has been awarded €3 million to develop new tech aimed at tackling global challenges in sustainability & energy
The project, VAPOURISE, has been allocated the substantial award by the European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant to develop cutting-edge perovskite semiconductors, a promising class of materials known for their exceptional efficiency and versatility
“The green energy transition depends on us finding more efficient and scalable ways to generate and store renewable energy," Professor Sam Stranks
This ambitious interdisciplinary effort, driven by a combination of chemical engineering, physics, and materials science, and leveraging collaborations in Cambridge and worldwide, reflects the department’s commitment to addressing some of the most pressing challenges of our time.
