We have a fully funded 4-year PhD studentship opportunity in our group at Queen Mary University London working on Advancing Redox-Targeting Flow Batteries with Solid Boosters for Breakthrough Energy Density, sponsored by The Faraday Institution, QMUL and Invinity Energy Systems -a global leader in vanadium flow battery technology.
The studentship includes a placement of at least 4 months at Invinity’s Materials R&D laboratory.
You will work closely with Clare Grey and her team at Cambridge, who will co-supervise in-situ NMR experiments. This will allow you to probe electrochemical processes as they happen, unlocking deep insight into redox mechanisms, ion transport, and degradation pathways in flow battery systems.
This highly interdisciplinary project combines electrochemistry, materials science, and advanced spectroscopy, providing you with a powerful skill set for careers in academia, industry, and the rapidly growing clean energy sector.
What you’ll gain:
- Hands-on experience with cutting-edge energy storage technologies
- Direct collaboration with industry leaders
- The opportunity to contribute to technologies critical for a net-zero future
If you’re motivated by impactful science and want to be part of the clean energy revolution, this project offers an exceptional platform to launch your research career.
This studentship is for "home fees" students only.
