PhD position summary/title: PhD in Transitional DeCarbonisation Scenario Modelling for Value Chain Emissions Mitigation (TransCarb)
Industrial manufacturing activities generate roughly two-thirds of global CO2 emissions, with over 90% of these emissions generated in the value chain, which encompasses all the individual steps taken to manufacture a product, driving climate change, and climate action. Legal requirements and obligations (e.g., the UK Carbon Budget: Net Zero by 2050 legislation), the need to demonstrate proactivity on climate change action, satisfy stakeholder/customer expectations, and boost performance ranking in sustainability indices, constitute drivers encouraging companies to reduce emissions. Companies are therefore taking steps to decarbonise emissions under their operational control and direct ownership (Scope 1 and 2). Due to several challenges to overcome, a remaining aspect difficult to decarbonise and often left unabated relates to value chain emissions (VCEs), indirect up/downstream Scope 3 emissions, which can be as high as 98% of the total, depending on the economic sector. Yet, without decarbonising VCEs, transitioning to a net zero carbon economy would be significantly hampered.

PhD position summary/title: PhD in Sustainable Rubber Chemistry and Technology
Rubbers are ubiquitous materials in modern society and have played important roles across industries. As the key component to connecting the vehicle to the road, the performance of the tyre directly determines the fuel efficiency, wear emission, and safety. The development of sustainable and high-performance elastomers is a key step towards net-zero future. We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly-motivated polymer researcher to investigate novel dynamic rubber technology and advanced rheology characterisation and develop an in-depth understanding of rubber circularity.

PhD position summary/title: PhD in Behaviours of Nitrogen in the Future Green Steelmaking Routes
Steel is an irreplaceable material in our modern life, while steel industry accounts for 9% of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. A variety of low emission steel manufacturing processes are being developed to convert the currently dominating Blast Furnace – Basic Oxygen Furnace (BF-BOF) steelmaking route to low CO2 or CO2 free steelmaking route. However, one of the technical challenges for the new steelmaking routes is the achievable nitrogen content in the steel produced. Some high-quality steels demand good formability and toughness, along with good surface quality, which necessitates controlling nitrogen to very low levels of ~20-30 ppm. This is achieved by the current BF-BOF steelmaking route because of its excellent nitrogen removal capability. However, alternative metallic charges with low or no carbon content (carbon-free direct reduced iron, remelted direct reduced iron, steel scrap) are expected to adversely impact the thermodynamics and kinetics of N2 in the future green steelmaking routes.

PhD position summary/title: PhD in The Development of a New Multi-Modal Capability for Investigating the Performance-Controlling Interfaces and Microstructures that Underpin Operation of Battery Materials
The performance of battery materials is dictated by the stability, efficiency and functionality of their interfaces, i.e. the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) at the anode and oxygen-induced cathode-electrolyte interface (CEI) at cathode. Attempts to analyse these interfaces in order to determine their structure and chemistry is complicated by the extreme air-sensitivity, beam sensitivity and the high volatility of certain species present.
In order to address these issues WMG is in the process of procuring a specially configured characterisation tool for characterasing these critical interfaces in battery materials that consists of a Plasma Focussed Ion Beam (PFIB) microscope equipped with airless transfer and cryo capability.
In this project extensive use will be made of this new system to develop strategies for studying the degradation of buried interfaces and structure dynamics in state-of-the-art high Ni NMC cathodes as a function of cycle ageing i.e. the evolution of the CEI. The system provides some unique opportunities for developing powerful new ways to characterise these controlling interfaces and this will form the basis of this project. The specific objective of the projects are:

PhD position summary/title: Mono-Material Barrier Films for Sustainable and Circular Plastic Packaging Applications (MonoFilm)
Plastic packaging materials play a crucial role in today’s society, offering advantages such as versatility, hygiene, safety, lightweight properties, and, notably, a low carbon footprint when compared to alternative materials. Despite the apparent simplicity of plastic bags or wrappers for everyday items like crisps, cheese, or ham, they often consist of multiple layers of different plastic types. While these layers effectively preserve food freshness and minimize waste, they pose significant challenges in terms of recyclability.

PhD position summary/title: PhD in Development of Sustainable and Smart Battery Cells
There is a need to construct a robust battery circular economy to sustain this growth in the electric vehicle (EV) market. Currently, the process of triaging a battery pack at end of first-life is expensive, hazardous and time consuming, with limited prior knowledge of the life of the batteries. Smart cells (cells with embedded sensors, e.g., temperature/pressure) placed within a battery pack, can be used to better track state of health (SoH) during the first-life of the pack. Primary objectives of this PhD are to:
– Investigate design optimisations for smart cell sensors, such as construction materials, location, method of insertion, etc., to allow cells to enter a circular economy.
– Identify target sensor measurands, key events to log and an application-focused method to store/present data to ease battery triaging.
– Research design considerations to ready smart cell sensors for deployment in future batteries regardless of cell electrochemistry and format.
