PhD Researcher in Sustainable Rechargeable Batteries

1 month ago


Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom University of Nottingham Full time
Project Overview

The University of Nottingham is seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to contribute to the development of sustainable rechargeable batteries. The primary focus will be on the design and development of manganese-based air electrodes with tailored features for rechargeable zinc-air batteries (RZAB). This project aims to address the challenge of access to clean and affordable energy by leveraging the potential of zinc as a cost-effective and abundant metal.

Responsibilities and Tasks

As a PhD researcher, you will be responsible for designing and conducting experiments to optimize the structure-function relationships of manganese-based electrodes. You will work closely with our experienced team of researchers to develop and evaluate innovative strategies to enhance RZAB development. Your research findings will be published in high-impact scientific journals and presented at international conferences.

Qualifications and Requirements

We are seeking a bright and highly motivated individual with a first-class or 2.1 honours degree (or equivalent) in materials science, chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, manufacturing, or a relevant discipline. Due to funding restrictions, this position is only available to UK/EU candidates with "home fee status". The ideal candidate should be self-motivated, have good communication skills, and be able to resolve challenges independently, with an interest in applied scientific research.

Benefits
  1. Full funding for the duration of the PhD program (3 years), including a stipend and tuition fees.
  2. Access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and equipment.
  3. Guidance and mentorship from a team of experienced researchers and professors.
  4. Networking opportunities with leading experts in the field and participation in international conferences.
