Abstract
Electrochemistry metrology at NPL.
NPL is the UK’s national measurement institute, with over 700 scientists working on a wide range of topics from developing fundamental measurement standards for redefining the SI units to advanced materials characterisation for engineering applications. Within the Materials division, the electrochemistry group is a dynamic team with activities in Corrosion, Photovoltaics, Organic Electronics, Nano-electrochemistry, Catalysis and Fuel Cells, with a focus on addressing measurement challenges in these areas.
I will present an overview of the research activities in the electrochemistry group at NPL, and as a case study I will discuss my own research into Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell degradation mechanisms using novel in situ techniques.
