PhD in Development of Sustainable and Smart Battery Cells - Coventry, United Kingdom - University of Warwick
Description
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. The global demand for lithium-ion batteries is set to reach ~4.7 TWh by 2030 (currently ~ 700 GWh).
There is a need to construct a robust battery circular economy to sustain this growth in the electric vehicle (EV) market. Currently, the process of triaging a battery pack at end of first-life is expensive, hazardous and time consuming, with limited prior knowledge of the life of the batteries. Smart cells (cells with embedded sensors, e.g., temperature/pressure) placed within a battery pack, can be used to better track state of health (SoH) during the first-life of the pack. Primary objectives of this PhD are to:
This research will be based at the Energy Innovation Centre (EIC), WMG, University of Warwick. This project will be led by Dr Timothy Vincent, part of the Cell Instrumentation Team, with access to the team's state-of-the-art laboratories in the EIC.
The EIC is uniquely positioned in terms of fundamental electrochemical and battery research capabilities, being the UK's only academic facility to be able to develop, manufacture and test battery cells at pilot scale.
Essential and Desirable Criteria
Essential: A good first degree (2:1 or above) in Physics, Engineering, or related disciplines. Strong theoretical and experimental skills.
Desirable: Prior experience of sensor/systems development, data-processing skills, interest and knowledge of circular economies.
