Battery energy storage phd supervisor

How can a PhD help reduce the environmental impact of batteries?

This PhD project focuses on reducing the environmental impact of batteries by developing fluorine-free electrolytes and optimizing hard carbon electrodes for Li-ion and Na-ion systems. As a PhD student, you Help shape the future of sustainable energy storage!

Why is energy storage important?

The energy storage industry is crucial for achieving environmental sustainability and supporting net-zero goals by enabling efficient renewable energy integration and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

Are lithium ion batteries a viable storage solution?

While lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries are beginning to be deployed for utility-scale storage, they are unlikely to be versatile enough to fulfil all the needs of the grid on their own. Unfortunately, they have a decidedly short storage duration, with even so-called long-duration technologies only targeting 10-100 hours.

Why do we need an energy storage solution?

For example, solar cells only generate power when the sun is shining, wind turbines only generate power when there is wind, and so on. An energy storage solution is therefore required which can quickly and reliably respond to match supply with demand.

How can we reduce the environmental impact of batteries?

This PhD project focuses on reducing the environmental impact of batteries by developing fluorine-free electrolytes and optimizing hard carbon and especially batteries. The team will create a new methodological framework for the inclusion of degrowth principles into the law and will propose a set of recommendations for lawmakers both at EU and

Can sulfur cathodes help shape the future of solid-state batteries?

No Offer Description The next generation of solid-state batteries (SSBs) based on sulfur cathodes has the potential to play a pivotal role in shaping the future This PhD project focuses on reducing the environmental impact of batteries by developing fluorine-free electrolytes and optimizing hard carbon electrodes for Li-ion and Na-ion systems.
