Holistic understanding of optimal lithium-ion battery fast charging

Lithium-ion batteries are the technology of choice for electric vehicles and other battery powered applications, with the ability to fast charge becoming increasingly important. Read more

Sustainable production of lithium using battery materials

Supervisory Team.   Prof Richard Wills, Prof. Nuria Garcia-Araez. Project description. The accelerating growth of the battery market requires major advances in the production of lithium for the supply of materials to manufacture the batteries. Read more

PhD in Development of Sustainable and Smart Battery Cells

Project Overview. Electrifying the transportation sector is imperative to achieving net zero targets. Developing next-generation batteries will underpin this transition, particularly for heavier duty transportation, such as larger industrial vehicles, and the marine and aerospace sectors. Read more

Lead-free materials for electrostatic energy storage

  Research Group: School of Chemical and Process Engineering
This multidisciplinary project spans materials science, chemistry and physics to develop lead-free environmental friendly materials for enhanced electrostatic energy storage. Read more

Discovery of new sustainable permanent magnets for electric motors and generators

High-performance permanent magnets are needed for electric motors and generators which are essential for the decarbonisation of transport (land, sea and air) and energy generation (>25% of UK electricity comes from wind-turbines). Read more

Sustainable Carbon Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Energy Conversion in Hydrogen Fuel Cells

The Hydrogen Economy will help to shift society away from fossil fuels and contribute to decarbonisation. Electrochemical processes are at the heart of the hydrogen economy providing a means to convert renewable energy into green hydrogen via electrolysis or converting hydrogen into electrical power using fuel cells. Read more

Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice: Investigating the Barriers to Achieving Projected Energy Savings in Railway Systems

A plethora of energy saving devices and technology have been proposed for railway systems to help save energy. These systems employ technology to either to use an alternative fuel, or to harness existing energy, or to store excess energy in batteries, or to use another chemical gradient. Read more
