Thermoelectric properties of novel 2D materials and Van der Waals heterostructures

University of Manchester
School of Materials

Dr A Kretinin

Application Deadline: 19 March 2019

Background. The discovery of graphene and first studies of its electrical and optical properties initiated the search of other two-dimensional (2D) materials with the properties complementing those of graphene.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Nanophononic metamaterials: engineering phonons to convert between heat and electricity

University of York
Department of Physics

Dr P Hasnip

Applications accepted all year round

Thermoelectrics are materials which convert temperature gradients into electricity, or vice versa. These materials can harvest waste heat from industrial processes, turning it into electricity, or use current to provide efficient cooling.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Phase boundary mapping for the discovery of improved thermoelectrics

Heriot-Watt University
School of Engineering & Physical Sciences

Dr J W Bos

Application Deadline: 8 February 2019

Thermoelectrics convert waste heat into electricity and are considered an important component of a sustainable energy future. This project aims to improve the performance of Zintl-type thermoelectric materials based on abundant elements using phase boundary mapping.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Development of hybrid energy recovery system to harvest energy from waste heat using TE materials

Kingston University
Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing

Prof T Zhang, Dr H Hadavinia, Dr Y Lin

Applications accepted all year round

Over the past decade, there has been heightened interest in the field of thermoelectrics, driven by the need for more efficient materials for electronic refrigeration and power generation.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Metal dithiocarbamates and xanthates as potential masked labile precursors to metal oxides

University of Manchester
School of Materials

Research Group: Nano and Functional Materials

Dr D Lewis

Application Deadline: 30 September 2019

Traditionally, a range of high temperature powder processing techniques was used for the synthesis of metal oxide powders – the so-called shake and bake method.
