Conventionally, chemical transformations are driven by inputs such as light, heat or electricity. However, the exciting field of polymer mechanochemistry is adding to these conventions by developing the use of mechanical force to drive chemical changes. Read more
A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed, offering greater energy efficiency relative to non-catalytic pathways. Read more
Atmospheric aerosols are one of the greatest threats to human health, and present one of the largest uncertainty in understanding and predicting our climate. Read more
Plastics are a broad range of solid polymeric materials that have found widespread application globally. However, there has been a steady accumulation of discarded plastics and there is now growing awareness that they present a significant hazard to the natural environment and human health. Read more
The transition to a net zero chemical industry requires the use alternative carbon sources with potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of this sector (i.e., 6% of global CO2-equivalent) [1,2]. Read more
Global supply chains are dominated by linear, carbon positive, economic models; extract, use, dispose, which creates unsustainable systems reliant on finite geological reserves. Read more
Underground energy storage in the form of compressed gas is emerging as a pivotal solution in the transition to a sustainable clean energy economy. Read more
Ageing status of transformer paper insulation is commonly estimated through chemical markers that are generated through the degradation of cellulose. Read more
To limit the impact of humanity on the environment, the chemicals industry must transition to sustainable technologies. The chemicals industry is a “hard to decarbonise” sector as its high embedded carbon comes from its intensive energy use and fossil fuels feedstocks. Read more
A funded PhD studentship is available in the field of computational inorganic chemistry. The project will involve modelling covalent bonding in crystalline solids to design next-generation electronic materials. Read more
We invite applications for a PhD position in the field of ceramic and coatings, focusing on the innovative design of microstructures to enhance toughness and durability. Read more
In an era marked by the urgent need for sustainable solutions, this project stands at the forefront of innovation in catalysis, focusing on the rational design of photo/electrocatalysts for nitrogen fixation and ammonia production. Read more
CO₂ thermosiphons take advantage of the thermosiphon effect by using carbon dioxide's thermodynamic properties for efficient, passive heat transfer in various applications such as cooling, geothermal energy, and refrigeration. Read more
