Congratulations to Professor Sir Peter Bruce FRS
Thursday 09 Jun 2022
Many congratulations to Professor Sir Peter Bruce FRS, who has been awarded the title of Knight Bachelor in the 2022 Queen’s Birthday Honours List. This is in recognition of Sir Peter’s work to develop a fundamental understanding of the properties of materials and the processes taking place in batteries, and to use this knowledge to improve performance. His research is concerned with new materials and chemistries that have the potential to deliver a step-change in performance (for example, increasing the range of an electric vehicle), and has earned him a UK and global leadership position in the field of batteries and energy storage.
