Main Research Activities
This doctoral research takes place in the framework of solid-state electrolytes for all-solid-state batteries, supervised by Prof. C. Masquelier (Amiens, FRANCE) and Prof. S. Islam (Bath, UK). The approach is multifaceted and aims to capitalize on the combined expertise of the ALISTORE member-institutions on the development and characterization of materials, namely:· LRCS on material synthesis, structural characterization and electrochemical characterization
· University of Bath on materials modelling and simulations
· Cambridge University on NMR spectroscopy
The goal of the doctorate project is to gain fundamental understanding on the mechanisms of ionic conduction in solids and the effects of local and micro- structure as well as elemental composition on the above. PhD thesis defended on november 2020.
