Clare Grey

Clare Grey is the Geoffrey Moorhouse Gibson Professor of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge's Department of Chemistry and a Fellow of Pembroke College. She leads the EPSRC Centre for Advanced Materials for Integrated Energy Systems (CAM-IES) and is a member of the Energy @ Cambridge Strategic Research Initiative's Advisory Board. Her research focuses on the structural characterization of disordered materials using solid-state NMR and diffraction, with applications in rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells. Key projects include optimizing battery materials for faster charging, higher power storage, and grid-level energy solutions.

Grey's work aligns with Sustainable Development Goals, notably through her contributions to the All-Party Parliamentary Climate Change Group event on energy storage and a BBC World Services panel discussion on low-carbon economies. Her research has advanced understanding of electrode mechanisms, electrolyte behavior, and solid-state electrolytes, with particular attention to sodium-ion and lithium-ion batteries.

• Education: Not explicitly stated in provided texts.
• Awards: Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS).

Her lab's investigations into in-situ NMR studies of battery function and structural elucidation of novel materials (e.g., NaNiO₂ phase diagrams) underscore her interdisciplinary approach. Collaborations include academic and industry partnerships aimed at translating research into practical energy solutions.
