Sustainable carbon nanomaterials for electrochemical energy conversion in hydrogen fuel cells
The Hydrogen Economy will help to shift society away from fossil fuels and contribute to decarbonisation. Electrochemical processes are at the heart of the hydrogen economy providing a means to convert renewable energy into green hydrogen via electrolysis or converting hydrogen into electrical power using fuel cells.

Construction materials and products. Investigation about embodied carbon assessment methods and solutions
Buildings consume 40% of energy produced in the world. This percentage increases to over 60% in the UK. In European countries, existing regulations limit operational energy consumption/carbon emissions and have brought to considerable savings. Read more
Data-driven high throughput synthesis of diamond-like carbon coatings with atmospheric plasma system
Host institution. Institute of Mechanical, Process and Energy Engineering (IMPEE), School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, EH14 4AS, UK. Read more
Low-carbon building retrofit by adopting an integrated archetype and net-zero approach
Summary. This PhD opportunity emerges from the need to develop an archetype and low-carbon heating approach that delivers Scotland's net-zero targets considering the implications of the built heritage, the surrounding public and private space and the communities that depend on many of our existing built heritage.
