Internship Programmes

X-ray absorption spectroscopy of Li-ion Batteries

Research Group Activity

Dr Piper is Professor of Electrochemical Materials within the Energy Directorate, his research primarily focuses on increasing the capacity retention and performance of next generation lithium ion battery cathodes. He joined in November 2020 and is currently building new capabilities for battery studies at WMG.

Project Description

Professor Piper is acquiring/ installing a novel lab-based x-ray absorption spectroscopy instrument that is capable of measuring the metal redox of Li-ion battery cathodes. This technique allows for studies of novel battery candidates and operando studies (i.e. during cycling). The project will focus on analyzing the the absorption spectra of battery materials using open-access software.
