*PLEASE REPOST* I'm looking for a motivated student for a 4-year EPSRC PhD studentship, open to UK home, EU & Internatinal students. The project explores merging hybrid ion batteries based on Na- & K-ion, potenially expanding to others e.g., Ca-ion. Application closes 05/01/2026.

[Yang Xu @reckless_ions]

We are an active and dynamic research team at UCL Chemistry, foucsing on next-generation, sustainably battery chemistries and materials. There will be collaborations with other university and industry partners in the PhD studentship project.

I was off from X for a while, during which a few things, happy things, have happened. First and foremost, Charlie passed his PhD viva succesfully. Thank you @Emjewls and @ChemistClancy! Second, we got our second @LeverhulmeTrust research grant in May. it's about K-S batteries,

[Yang Xu @reckless_ions]

Look, EVs can be a happy choice.

[Yang Xu @reckless_ions]

Very happy to have this review paper out in Adv. Mater. @AdvSciNews @Wiley_Chemistry. A great team work between @UCLChemistry @uclmaps and @QiongCai_EnM3 @UniOfSurrey. Metal anodes/ #batteries are challenging but fun to work on. More work to come!

Had a great visit to my friend @LeitingZhang at @UU_University. First time in Sweden! Landed in Berlin minutes ago and heading to the next research visit to @HZBde. Oh good old Berlin/Germany. Never thought it’d become such an important part of my personal and professional life.

@lppnam2403 Kevin Ryan @nanoresearchul @NeerajChemUNSW @loroik @YiyingWu4 Min Zhou, Bingan Lu, Yuhan Wu, Dengyun Zhai, Chenglin Zhang, Jinkui Feng, Pengcheng Liu, Yujie Zhu. A good jumping point to learn about K-based #Battery (K-ion, K-S/Se, K-O2, K metal)!

[Yang Xu @reckless_ions]

Feeling like a kid getting his new year's new clothes @UCLChemistry! It was a 2-year project @ElsevierConnect and has the contributions from many of my good friends and briliant fellow researchers in the field all over the world. This book wouldn't be the same without you! 👇

[Yang Xu @reckless_ions]

Get in touch with me (as the program director) if you have any questions. 👇

Applications to MSc Materials for Energy and Environment at @UCLChemistry has just opened! Come join us in London and take on a master's program in a vibrant and supportive department. We offer world-class teaching and research and *wait for it* a 5-MONTH long research project

[Yang Xu @reckless_ions]

that is fully embedded in our research teams! If you are interested in energy materials and environment relevant topics, if you want to learn transferrable skills, and if you want to have a fresh taste of doing research, look no further!
