Porous materials such as foams and felts are often used to reduce noise levels. However, these materials are often ineffective at low frequencies. Read more
New inorganic materials are needed to advance technology and to develop our basic scientific understanding of the connection between chemical composition, crystal structure and physical properties. Read more
The properties of inorganic materials are determined by their crystal structures, and there are often a select few structural families which dominate the application areas for particular properties which can limit performance development. Read more
An opportunity for a 3.5 year PhD position supported by NSG Group towards the computational discovery of new materials to enhance the performance of PV devices and forms part of a larger collaboration with NSG around the discovery of new materials for the glass industry. Read more
An opportunity for a 3.5 year PhD position supported by NSG Group towards the discovery of new materials as coatings on glass. This project aims to develop new materials for optoelectronic applications on glass to contribute to the net zero agenda. Read more
Low and zero thermal expansion materials are used in many industries where size stability under high temperatures is critical e.g., aerospace, precision manufacturing, sensors. Read more
New materials hold great promise in addressing global challenges that our society faces today. For instance, green hydrogen as a sustainable transport fuel requires the development of materials for better electrolysers to accelerate the transition to clean transportation. Read more
A diversity of novel materials is needed for applications such as photovoltaics, batteries, photocatalysts and thermoelectric generators to move to completely non-petrochemical energy generation and storage. Read more
This project sits within the Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Advanced Metallic Systems - a distinct research centre formed by a partnership between the Universities of Sheffield and Manchester and the I-Form Advanced Manufacturing Centre, Dublin. Read more
Project Code. EPSRC_2023_14. Project Introduction. Nuclear fuel cladding materials are the first containment of nuclear fuel (fissile material) and, as such, must demonstrate a reliable performance during in-reactor service. Read more
Broader context. Delivery of bespoke, tailored functional materials for specific applications often requires multistep and/or custom manufacturing processes which may not always be transferable. Read more
Solar photovoltaics (PVs) now account for close to 4% of global electricity generation, with installed capacity growing almost exponentially. Read more
We have a vacancy for a PhD student to work on the synthesis and characterisation of new materials for solar cells. Hybrid lead halide perovskites are attracting considerable interest due to their potential as photovoltaic materials for solar cells with very high efficiencies. Read more
The ultimate objective of this project is to develop integrated computational materials engineering methodology for liquid cooling plate of power battery, and provide guidance to design part, stamping process and optimize thermal management system as well. Read more
Supervisory Team. Prof. Graeme Day. Project description. A fully funded PhD studentship is available in the area of computational materials discovery, as part of a prestigious international Synergy grant funded by the European Research Council. Read more
