About This Opportunity

Applications are invited for a 3.5-year PhD studentship based in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Cambridge. The student will be supervised by Dr Alexander Forse.

Supercapacitors are fast-charging energy storage devices that are complementary to batteries. The overarching aim of this PhD project is to understand how supercapacitors work and improve their performance. Research will include a combination of electrochemistry and NMR spectroscopy experiments and analysis. The studentship provides a maintenance grant, and tuition fees at the UK/home rate. Exceptional overseas applicants will also be considered.
