PhD Studentship: Smart Electrolytes for Next-Generation Zinc-Ion Batteries
How do we build grid batteries that are cheap, safe and made from abundant materials?
Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are a promising answer – zinc is low-cost, non-toxic and works in water-based electrolytes. But current ZIBs still suffer from limited lifetime and efficiency because the electrolyte, cathode and their interface are not optimised together.
This PhD will tackle that challenge head-on. You will design “smart” aqueous or gel electrolytes and matched cathode coatings that work as a single sy...
