Memorandum of Understanding: National University of Singapore and Temasek Polytechnic

National University of Singapore Centre for Energy Research and Technology (NUS-CERT) is partnering Clean Energy Research Centre (TP-CERC) of Temasek Polytechnic.

The objective of this Memorandum of Understanding is to provide a framework of cooperation and develop energy solutions, primarily on energy storage. Combining collaborative research and promoting translational research between Institutes of Higher-Learning and research institutes is the foundation for this partnership.

The ceremony was preceded by a workshop on “Translational Research in Energy Storage”.
This workshop provides a platform for researchers and industry partners to collectively share, discuss technical challenges and identify potential opportunities for performance improvements and breakthrough in battery technology.

Some of the presentations covered by them includes:

  1. Ultra – Safe Fast Charging Battery
  2. Redox Flow Lithium Battery (RFLB)
  3. Condensed-Phase Aqueous Redox Flow Battery (CARB)
