Professor Clare Grey awarded Royal Society Research Professorship

Professor Clare Grey FRS has recently been awarded a Royal Society Research Professorship.

These prestigious posts provide long-term support for internationally recognised scientists of exceptional accomplishments from a range of diverse areas.

Professor Grey is a Fellow of Pembroke College and Principle Investigator of the Grey research group in the Department of Chemistry. She is an expert in using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to study rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and their potential for use in energy storage applications.

"Clare Grey will use the Royal Society professorship to improve our understanding of the chemical processes that underlie battery degradation, developing new approaches to monitor the chemical state-of-health of the batteries and to detect failure modes before they occur. The work will contribute to the development of longer-lasting, cheaper and safer rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles and storage on the electricity grid." - The Royal Society
