Mechanical Behaviour of solid state lithium ion batteries
Dr D E J Armstrong, Prof P G Bruce
Applications accepted all year round
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.
Li and Na wetting of cathode ceramics
Prof M R Castell
Applications accepted all year round
There is currently a large research effort in Oxford dedicated to developing a solid state lithium ion battery (SOLBAT) with significantly increased energy storage capacity compared with current designs.
PhD studentship opportunity in Multiscale Modelling of Lithium-sulfur Batteries
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.
Li-ion Batteries; Recovery and Reconditioning
Prof E Kendrick
Applications accepted all year round
A fully funded 4-year Faraday Institution studentship (PhD) is available in the School of Metallurgy and Materials, at the University of Birmingham under the supervision of Prof Emma Kendrick.
Burn Fewer Fossil Fuels - Storing Renewable Energy Efficiently
Research Group:
Climate change
Dr A Morris, Dr P Allan
Application Deadline:
31 March 2019
Mitigating the effects of Climate Change depends critically on pervasive sustainable energy. Energy from renewables is sporadic and electricity demand and generation peaks do not match throughout the day.
