Project Description
To successfully achieve net zero by 2050, Lithium-ion batteries will play an essential role in the energy transition and storage, powering consumable devices, electric vehicles, and driving the evolution of renewable energy systems. The rapid advancement of battery technologies has spurred global demand for lithium, a critical mineral. By 2030, battery manufacturers in the UK alone could require approximately 15,000 tonnes of lithium annually (UK Critical Minerals Intelligence Centre, CMIC Securing a sustainable lithium supply is paramount for the resilience of the battery value chain and the growth of the battery industry. To strengthen mineral supply chains, the UK-Australia Free Trade Agreement was signed to ensure collaborative sourcing and processing of critical minerals in both countries.
Full tuition fees, stipend of £19,237 per annum, travel funds of up to £15,000, and RTSG of £10,715 are available over the 3.5 year studentship
