Hydrogen and battery technologies: development, testing and validation

CERIC - Central European Research Infrastructure Consortium

Italy

Service ID:

EP114S2
Service description

CERIC provides holistic support for the development of innovative solutions for hydrogen and battery technologies, from e.g., characterisation of interfaces to product validation and testing, through a multi-technique approach. A full range of advanced analytical techniques is available for a wide range of characterisation experiments (ex-situ, in-situ, operando experiments) for the development of materials and systems applied to fuel cells, water electrolysers, and batteries, based on techniques such as electron microscopy, solid-state and in situ/operando NMR, ion beam, neutron, and photon-based techniques. In addition, CERIC offers fuel cell, water electrolysers, and battery testing and validation to EIC beneficiaries. The complementary knowledge and instrumentation of these facilities allow for the testing and validation of different advanced fuel cells, electrolysers, batteries, and related systems under operando conditions, providing the possibility to verify the functioning of pilot products. Moreover, CERIC supports the development of regulations, codes, and standards by validating test procedures and measurement methods for the performance assessment of fuel cells using the European Commission’s JRC facilities. The whole service includes the design of the experiments, testing and knowledge required, data collection, data analysis, and a report.
