Deaglan Bowman

I am a final-year PhD student focusing on the development of advanced lithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries as a “beyond” lithium-ion energy storage technology. My research involves the synthesis of novel carbon materials for sulfur-host applications, as well as the development of pre-lithiated silicon anodes for full-cell Li–S batteries.  A central part of my work is the application of advanced operando characterisation, including lab-source and synchrotron techniques, to delve into the underlying charge-storage mechanisms and degradation pathways of energy storage devices.
