About this position

This PhD project at the University of Liverpool's Department of Chemistry focuses on the discovery and development of inorganic cathode materials and solid electrolytes for next generation battery technology. The research aims to advance energy storage solutions by exploring new material compositions and employing experimental design strategies. Students will engage in applied, inorganic, and physical chemistry, as well as synthetic chemistry and chemical physics, to identify and characterize promising battery materials. The project is supervised by a team of leading academics: Professor M Rosseinsky, Dr. R Chen, Dr. L Daniels, and Professor L Hardwick, who bring expertise in materials discovery and electrochemistry.

Research activities will include synthesis and analysis of novel inorganic compounds, investigation of their electrochemical properties, and assessment of their suitability for use in advanced batteries. The project offers opportunities to collaborate within a vibrant research environment and contribute to the development of sustainable energy technologies. Applicants should have a strong background in chemistry, materials science, or physics, and an interest in experimental research and energy storage materials.

Funding details are not specified in the current announcement. The application deadline is 31 August 2026. Prospective students are encouraged to review the project details and prepare their application materials, including CV, transcripts, and a cover letter. For further information, applicants may contact the supervisors or visit the project webpage.
