This has been produced through the Hub and fund- ed by the Research Councils Energy Programme. This document will be updated regularly and available via the Hub’s website. If your research is not yet included and you would like it to be, then please contact us. Energy storage will become an increasingly vital of the energy landscape, transforming transportation and reducing our dependence on fossil fuels. Energy storage is being de- ployed on electricity grids across the world. Many energy storage research challenges remain to be addressed. The UK research base is well placed to play a significant role in addressing these challenges. The continued development and commercialisation of Energy Storage technology requires a collaborative approach between and within academia, industry and government. We hope that this document stimulates collaboration across the sector, and promotes new links with the outstanding UK research base in the field. 9 UK Energy Superstore Research Capability Document BIOGRAPHY : Dr Ainara Aguadero Dr Ainara Aguadero Lecturer in Materials Imperial College Email: [email protected] Phone: +44 (0)2075945174 Website: http://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/a.aguadero Biography 1300143 Ainara is leading a research in the Department • C.
