Congratulations to Michael and Lizzie. Our first two DPhils from the group with excellent work on Batteries and Catalysis respectively. Very proud supervisor.

Last chance to apply for this exciting #postdoc opportunity at University of Oxford in Oxford Materials working on #operando for #electrocatalysis

Great to have Prof Yi Cui Yi Cui visiting today Oxford Materials. Excellent talk and discussions. Obligatory photo in front of JBGoodenough plaque with Prof Saiful Islam

Great to see Aryan explaining his masters research in the group on NMC811 cracking. Congratulations on your graduation!

Great to see our first work from the FI-Degradation project published! Beautiful simulations from Juliane Fiates and experiments from Soochan, Pravin, Rob and Michael on anode-free batteries 😍 Newcastle Chemistry Oxford Materials Engineering Dept Faraday Institution pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Lijin An and Robert Weatherup Oxford Materials led an exciting study using European Synchrotron x-ray Raman to track the state of nickel #battery 🔋 cathode particles as they charge (and I made a small modelling contribution). Why does this matter? A short 🧵 pubs.rsc.org/en/Content/Art…
