Professor Sir Peter Bruce FRS is the Wolfson Professor of Materials at the University of Oxford and Chief Scientist of the Faraday Institution. Peter’s research embraces materials chemistry and electrochemistry, with a parficular emphasis on lithium and sodium bafteries. Current research focuses on revealing and mifigafing failure mechanisms in solid-state bafteries, understanding oxygen redox in high-capacity Li-ion cathodes, and the challenges of the lithium-air baftery. He has received a number of prestigious awards, including from the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Electrochemical Society and the German Chemical Society. Clarivate have recognised him as a HighlyCited Researcher every year since 2015. Between 2018 and 2023 he served as the Physical Secretary and Vice-President of the Royal Society (UK’s national science academy). In 2022 Peter received a knighthood for his services to science and innovation.
