Project title: diagnostics for lithium batteries Supervisor: Dr Rohit Bhagat (WMG) and Chris Lyness (JLR) Project Overview: Lithium batteries change and degrade during operation leading to reduced performance. This becomes increasingly important when considering the electric vehicle application where many batteries are connected to form battery...

Supervisor: Dr Chaoying Wan Renewable carbon-based fuels are produced from biomass. An alternative way is chemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), which is being produced by industry in an increasing rate and is causing global warming problems. This project aims to develop functional nanomaterials that can capture atmospheric CO 2 and convert...

Supervisor: Dr Rohit Bhagat Project Overview: Lithium batteries consist of various valuable compounds embedded in different layers with structural materials surrounding them. Lithium is a strategic material and will become increasingly important as electrification of vehicles continues. Currently only a small percentage of these batteries are...
