Materials Discovery Imperial College London in United Kingdom

Lancaster University’s Chemistry Department is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship supervised by Prof John Griffin and Dr Xiao Hua . The project is part of the Faraday Institution PhD Training Programme and focuses on local structure and ion ordering in high-performance materials for lithium-ion batteries . The research centres on disordered rocksalts (DRXs) as next-generation cathode materials. DRXs have crystalline structures but lack long-range ordering of lithium and transition metal ...

The School of Chemistry at the University of St Andrews, in collaboration with industrial partner Johnson Matthey, is advertising 4 fully funded international PhD studentships in a platinum group metals (PGM) cluster. The cluster is focused on materials chemistry and aims to deliver cutting-edge advances in PGM-based materials and compounds, supported by state-of-the-art structural, physical, and microstructural characterisation facilities and links to central facilities. Research projects avail...
