Summary
PhD researcher in Chemistry at the University of Southampton with research interests in sodium-ion batteries, phosphide electrode materials and thin-film energy storage materials. My doctoral research focuses on the synthesis of phosphide thin-film anodes via aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition (AACVD), and the investigation of their electrochemical behaviour, phase evolution and reaction mechanisms using advanced characterisation techniques and synchrotron methods.
