The XXVI Meeting of the Portuguese Electrochemical Society took place at  Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto , from 19 to 21 November. Vasco da Gama CoLAB had a major role, as co-organiser and sponsor of this event, which is strategically aligned with our work at battery-cell level. Our Electrochemistry Team led the hands-on workshop "High-performance cathodes for Sodium ion batteries (SIBs)" covering synthesis of cathodes and battery assembly processes. Being present

🛡️ Safety is a central topic in the energy transition, especially when we talk about storage systems! On the 25th, we hosted the training course “Safety with Batteries” , bringing together professionals from different sectors to discuss risks, procedures and operational responses in real scenarios. Thank you to everyone who took part, for your presence, questions and sharing of experience. It’s through this kind of exchange that we build greater confidence in the use of ene

We’re excited to launch BIOEESC – Biomass-derived renewable materials for Electrochemical Energy Storage & Conversion . Coordinated by Universidade de Aveiro (CICECO - Aveiro Institute of Materials), the project pioneers bio-based electrolytes for next-generation sodium-ion batteries, cutting critical raw materials and shrinking carbon footprints. Our contribution to BIOEESC: ✅ Advanced electrochemical testing & characterisation ✅ Cell design, prototyping and performance val

Our master students participated in the Doctoral Congress in Engineering 2025 (DCE25) at  Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto , where they are currently finishing their dissertations at Vasco da Gama CoLAB, under the supervision of Dr.  Rita Carvalho Veloso . ➡️ Mariana Almeida (MSc in Chemical Engineering) presented:" Cellulose-Derived Hard Carbons as Sustainable Anodes for Sodium-Ion Batteries ". ➡️ Carolina Saraiva (MSc in Chemical Engineering) presented:" Pre

Vasco da Gama CoLAB - Energy Storage  was honoured to take part in Ciência 2025 (9–11 July, NOVA SBE, Carcavelos), Portugal’s flagship science summit. Together with our fellow Energy & Sustainability Collaborative Laboratories:  Smart Energy LAB ,  CoLAB NET4CO2 ,  HyLab - CoLAB  and  BIOREF - Collaborative Laboratory (CoLAB) . We showcased how complementary expertise in smart-energy, carbon, hydrogen, biomass and batteries can converge to accelerate the clean-energy transiti

The forum “7 years of CoLABs: Impacts e Perspectives”, organised by the FCoLAB and held at the Pavilhão do Conhecimento, brought together 41 Collaborative Laboratories (CoLABs), representing more than 1300 highly qualified researchers and about 300 partner organisations to assess achievements and set priorities for the years ahead. Vasco da Gama CoLAB - Energy Storage contributed on the front line of sustainable energy storage, showcasing an innovative, agnostic and modular s

Over the last few months, we've had the privilege of accompanying a group of 10th grade students from the Agrupamento de Escolas da...
