About the project: Under pressure: Predictive modelling of battery ageing across the scales Supervisor: Dr Lukasz Figiel, University of Warwick Lithium-ion batteries are essential for electric vehicles and achieving net-zero targets, but they degrade over time, reducing performance and safety. A key issue is gas generation, which causes internal pressure build-up and can lead to cell failure, but existing models struggle to capture this complex, multiscale phenomenon efficiently. This project will develop a novel, physics-informed surrogate model using Bayesian machine learning to predict gas generation and pressure evolution.
