Novel In-Cell Instrumentation Methods for Large Format Prismatic Battery Cells project

WMG正在开发未来的“智能电池”技术，其中包括直接嵌入电池结构中的新型传感、数据处理和控制方法。尤其令人感兴趣的是对内部温度、压力、机械应力和电极电位的现场测量。这个博士生名额将把我们目前的研究扩展到更大尺寸的电池，这种电池越来越成为许多应用的选择。更大的尺寸将意味着在一系列用例中需要不同的传感器技术，包括材料特性、性能和安全评估。NPL将提供对新锂离子电池技术和系统的诊断、测试方案和模拟主导设计的技术专家的密切监督和访问。

WMG are developing future "smart battery" technology that includes novel sensing, data processing and control methods embedded directly within the structure of the battery. Of particular interest is the in-situ measurement of internal temperature, pressure, mechanical stress and electrode potential. This PhD studentship will expand our current research into larger format batteries, which are increasingly the format of choice for many applications.The larger size will mean that different sensor technologies are required across a range of use-cases including material characterisation, performance and safety evaluation. NPL will provide close supervision and access to technology experts on diagnostics, testing protocols and simulation-led design of new lithium ion battery technology and systems.
