| Reference number | FNS_Energystorage |
| Overview | This PhD project will combine marine polysaccharide extraction with advanced cellulose modification to establish fundamental structure-property relationships governing ion transport in bio-based electrolytes. By developing sulphated seaweed electrolytes, dual-functionalised cellulose systems, and zwitterionic cellulose derivatives, the project aims to create a new generation of sustainable electrolyte materials suitable for future solid-state energy storage technologies. International secondment: This is a collaborative project with Dr Kajitha Suthagar from Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. You will have the opportunity to spend time (> 3 months) at Victoria University of Wellington. For full details please see advert uploaded. |
