Kathryn Toghill is a British chemist who is Professor of Sustainable Electrochemistry at Lancaster University. Her research considers the development of low-cost energy storage systems, with a particular focus on redox flow batteries.
Toghill was an undergraduate student at Swansea University. She spent a year at the University of Waterloo, where she worked with Linda Nazar on new cathodes for batteries.[1] Her undergraduate research with Nazar was published in Nature Materials.[1] After earning her doctorate, Toghill moved to the University of Oxford, where she developed modified boron doped diamond electrodes and investigated their applications in analysis.[2] At Oxford Toghill designed an electrochemical atomic force microscopy cell.[3] Toghill moved to the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, where she worked with Hubert Girault.[citation needed] At EPFL, she developed capabilities in hybrid energy storage, investigating batteries capable of conventional operation and hydrogen evolution.[4]
