Robert House, a Senior Research Fellow at Oxford University, has been selected as one of Forbes Magazine’s '30 people to watch under 30' for his leadership into the development of innovative, sustainable sodium ion (NA-ion) battery materials, as a cheaper and easier to source alternative to lithium (Li-on) or cobalt. “I'm thrilled to be listed among some of Europe's top young scientists and innovators under 30. To make more affordable EVs and to reduce our dependence on critical elements, we have to look beyond Li-ion to other rechargeable batteries. We have been able to identify two unique mechanisms which if used in the right way could deliver improvements in the energy density of cathode materials,” explained Robert. The judges for the Forbes’ 30 Under 30 Europe Science & Healthcare (2023) list were Sona Chandra, Jonathan Dickinson, Linda Partridge and Sabina Wizander.
