Ammonia Electrochemical synthesis for CO2-free energy applications
Ammonia Electrochemical synthesis for CO2-free energy applications. The development of low-cost, high-performance energy storage and conversion devices are critical for an environmentally sustainable future free of CO2 emissions. Read more
PhD in Chemistry - Exploring the Efficiency and Sustainability of Green Hydrogen Production: Utilizing Solid State Electrocatalysts and 3D printed cells in Water Electrolysis
Green energy is great way to power our lives, but what if the wind is not blowing and the sun is not shining? What should we do when supply of renewable electricity exceeds demand?. Read more
Towards a net zero society: transforming carbon dioxide into fuels using electricity and light
The large-scale conversion of carbon dioxide into synthetic fuels, such as methanol, is an attractive prospect which could alleviate our reliance on fossil fuels and help achieve our net zero goals. Read more
Design and Synthesis of Sustainable Electrolytes for Redox Flow Batteries Based on Abundant Metals
Redox flow batteries (RFB) are a promising technology for stationary energy storage systems which will become a real necessity as we transition to a low-carbon energy landscape that relies more heavily on intermittent renewable energy. Read more
Mechanistic Investigations in Homogeneous Catalysis
The production of important fine chemicals, such as pharmaceuticals, relies on the use of homogeneous catalysis. Many key transformations are performed with organometallic, molecular, transition metal complexes. Read more
Innovative Spectroscopic Approaches to Water Quality Monitoring
Providing clean water to a growing global population is a huge challenge and there is now a pressing need for us to develop better methods to measure water quality, since these underpin efforts to prevent pollution and measure the success of remediation efforts. Read more
Examining isotope effects in ion–molecule reactions
Reactions between ions and neutral molecules are known to be important in low-temperature environments such as the outer atmosphere and the interstellar medium. Read more
Discovery of new oxide ceramic materials
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
Experimental Discovery of New Inorganic Materials with Unique Crystal Structures
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
(EPSRC DTG) Metal-Organic Frameworks for Clean Air: A comprehensive EPR study
Ammonia (NH. 3. ) and nitrogen dioxide (NO. 2. ) are harmful air pollutants due to their highly corrosive and toxic nature. One strategy to mitigate air pollution is to use porous materials that are capable to adsorb and further convert these atmospheric pollutants into useful chemicals for industry. Read more
Expanding the Build-Couple-Transform Paradigm to develop highly diverse screening libraries for Drug Discovery Newcastle University (Chemistry), Durham University
Lead-like libraries provide ideal hits for drug discovery, but their construction usually relies on a common starting material, meaning that the libraries lack scaffold diversity. Read more
Mapping Microbial Cell Interactions on Designer Biomimetic Surfaces
Nature uses sophisticated strategies to control and eradicate microbial cells. A major scientific challenge is to translate these approaches to artificially synthesised systems. Read more
