Description

Role
Royce Undergraduate Internship Scheme 2026: Establishing laboratory small-angle X-ray scattering protocol for Single-layer pouch battery cells

 
This project aims to develop a robust SAXS protocol for unmodified single-layer pouch cells using our laboratory Xenocs instrument. Using a silica/graphite–LiNixMnyCozO2 pouch cell, this project will optimise measurement conditions and establish a reproducible data analysis workflow for routine SAXS measurements.

Duties and responsibilities

The student will gain insight into battery electrochemistry fundamentals and pilot-line-scale pouch cell manufacturing. They will develop an in-depth understanding of small-angle X-ray scattering principles, instrumentation, and data analysis, and gain hands-on experience conducting operando pouch-cell experiments and building analytical workflows from initial testing through to final protocol.

Skills and experience

  • UK-based undergraduate student currently enrolled at the University of Warwick to work on a project related to materials science and engineering.
  • Students must be between their penultimate and final year of study. Exceptions may be considered in the case of industrial placement or study abroad years. 
  • Students could also be moving between the third and fourth years of an integrated master’s course. 

Final year students or students already accepted onto a PhD programme are not considered suitable for this support.
