Thermal batteries (often termed primary reserve batteries) offer several key advantages over primary and secondary batteries due to their long shelf life, high temperature stability, quick activation, reliability, robustness and the fact that they are maintenance-free. Despite these many advantages, the exact mechanisms that control performance in...

The influence of plastic pollution on our environment has been well documented, however, there remains a knowledge gap between relating to how new polymers and plastics might biodegrade. To this end, we have a fully funded PhD studentship (due to eligibility criteria, only for UK applicants) that will focus on developing sustainable polymer platforms,...

Most modern rechargeable batteries for transportation rely on lithium. Yet, the relatively high price, limited global availability of lithium, and environmental issues related to lithium extraction are driving demand for a more affordable alternative. This could boost the adoption of energy storage technologies across various industries. Sodium-based...

The burden of medical plastic waste has become an increasingly pressing concern in recent years. The healthcare industry relies heavily on single-use plastic items due to their convenience and hygiene factors, but this has led to a significant environmental problem. Improper disposal and inadequate recycling of medical plastics contribute to pollution,...
