  PhD studentship opportunity in Multiscale Modelling of Lithium-sulfur Batteries
University of Surrey Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences
  Research Group: Automotive Engineering Research Group
  Dr T Zhang, Dr C Lekakou
Applications accepted all year round
Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries hold the promise of becoming the next generation battery technology for automotive and transport applications due to its 2-3 times higher energy density than today’s lithium-ion batteries.

  In situ far-infrared spectroscopy of electrochemical interfaces within batteries
University of Liverpool Department of Chemistry
  Prof L Hardwick, Prof R J Nichols
Application Deadline: 30 June 2019
In situ spectroscopies are amongst the most important innovations for modern electrochemistry since they are able to deliver precise molecular level views of electrochemical interfaces and reactions.

  Mechanical Behaviour of solid state lithium ion batteries
University of Oxford Department of Materials
  Dr D E J Armstrong, Prof P G Bruce
Application Deadline: 25 January 2019
Developing a solid state lithium ion battery would have a transformative impact on energy storage, particularly in the area of personal transport, especially if it can be combined with a metallic lithium anode.

  PhD Scholarship in synthesis of solid-state electrolytes for next generation batteries
Curtin University Department of Physics and Astronomy
  Dr M Paskevicius
Applications accepted all year round
This Research-only PhD is directed towards designing, synthesizing, and characterizing new ionic conductors to be used as solid-state electrolytes in next-generation batteries.

Type/Funding
  Oxidic Nanomaterials for High Density Storage in Li-ion Batteries
University of Bradford Faculty of Life Sciences
  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
  Dr S Hickey, Dr W Martin
Applications accepted all year round
The oxides of a number of materials are very appealing candidates as substitutes for conventional anodes in lithium-ion batteries because of their high theoretical capacity, high electric conductivity low potential of lithium ion intercalation, as well as superior electron mobilities, with one such material, SnO2 being particularly appealing.

  Advanced batteries for hybrid vehicles: Understanding how the physico-chemical structure influences performance
University of Canterbury Chemical and Process Engineering
  Dr A Marshall
Applications accepted all year round
Advanced lead-acid batteries for use in micro-hybrid vehicles show great potential due to their low-cost and ability to charge and discharge very rapidly.
Details
Type/Funding
  PhD Studentship: In-operando detection of gas evolution from lithium batteries
University of Southampton Chemistry
  Dr N Garcia-Araez, Prof P N Bartlett
Applications accepted all year round
Gas evolution is one of the most important causes of battery degradation, and a potential trigger of battery unsafe behaviour, since gas accumulation will deform the battery chasing, build a high internal pressure and potentially short the electrodes inside the battery producing high local temperatures that can cause uncontrolled thermal runaway.
