Research topic Design-make-test-learn of interfaces and electrolytes for high-performance all-solid-state energy storage devices
Reference number FNS_FACSCPS2026
Overview

All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) offer major advantages in safety, energy density and operating temperature over conventional lithium-ion batteries, but their development is limited by poor ionic conductivity, unstable electrode-electrolyte interfaces and manufacturing challenges.


This PhD project will address these challenges using a design-make-test-learn strategy that integrates computational materials modelling with experimental synthesis, characterisation and device fabrication.  For further details please see advert attached.
