Battery materials innovation centre opens

CPI has opened its Advanced Materials Battery Industrialisation Centre (AMBIC) at NETPark in County Durham, a facility designed to accelerate the development and scale-up of new battery materials. Established through a £12m investment from UK Research and Innovation’s Faraday Battery Challenge, funded by Innovate UK, AMBIC is a joint initiative between CPI and WMG at the University of Warwick. CPI chief technologist Dr Keri Goodwin, says: “Whether you’re developing lithium-ion, solid-state or emerging chemistries, our facility gives you the tools and expertise to scale faster - from powder to prototype.”
