Fully Funded PhD in Battery Electrolyte Design and Electrochemistry at University of Oxford University of Oxford in United Kingdom

New PhD studentship at the University of Leicester via CENTA (Central England NERC Training Alliance) , co-supervised by Patricia Rodriguez Macia and developed in collaboration with Dominik H. The project focuses on Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) and how they influence proton transfer and selectivity in electrocatalytic CO2 reduction , especially in competition with hydrogen evolution . Research will combine non-precious metal porphyrinoid synthesis , electrochemistry , and spectroscopy , and will...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in predictive models for battery interfaces , combining quantum simulations , atomistic modelling , computational chemistry , machine learning , and electrochemistry . The project focuses on the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) , a critical region in batteries that strongly affects performance and lifetime. You will work on large-scale quantum simulations using ONETEP together with reactive AI-driven force fields to build high-fidelity models of...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds on Understanding and Predicting CaCO3 Growth on Subsea Infrastructure . This project investigates the formation and growth of calcareous deposits (CaCO3) on subsea infrastructure and their impact on cathodic protection systems. The research combines experimental investigation, advanced characterisation, electrochemical analysis, and predictive modelling to improve offshore engineering design. The project is undertaken in collaboration with Deepwater EU ...
