Energy Technologies (equality) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 42 Energy Technologies (equality) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Condition monitoring and non-destructive testing of dynamic cable for offshore renewable energy industry

Offshore wind energy is central to UK’s ambition of transitioning to a sustainable future electricity grid. The growth in power generation from floating wind turbines is increasingly further away from shore and utilising the floating wind turbine support structures. Read more

Ion irradiation of advanced nuclear fuels

Nuclear fission power currently accounts for 20% of UK energy production, making it a key low-carbon energy source for reducing greenhouse gases and meeting the governments New-Zero target by 2050. Read more

Multiscale investigation of corrosion deposition in high temperature high pressure water for nuclear power plants

We are pleased to present an exciting PhD opportunity in collaboration with Rolls-Royce, providing a unique chance for candidates to participate in a multiscale investigation of corrosion deposition in high-temperature, high-pressure water for nuclear power plants. Read more

Membrane-less Redox Flow Batteries

This project will focus on the development of membrane-less redox flow battery systems for grid-scale energy storage. We will use novel aqueous electrolytes and new types of cell chemistries as well as “bespoke” systems based on organic molecules. Read more

Condition monitoring and non-destructive testing of dynamic cable for offshore renewable energy industry

Offshore wind energy is central to UK’s ambition of transitioning to a sustainable future electricity grid. The growth in power generation from floating wind turbines is increasingly further away from shore and utilising the floating wind turbine support structures. Read more

Detecting and Quantifying Hydrogen Isotopes in Nuclear Fusion Breeding Materials using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Future fusion power reactors such as the UK’s STEP reactor, due to begin construction in the next 10 years, will require the tritium fuel to be generated (bred), extracted, separated, and regenerated into new fueling (either pellets or gas) prior to (re-)introduction into the fusion core. Read more

Hydrogen trapping and permeation in metallic and ceramic coatings for fusion powerplant applications

  Research Group: Coatings and Ceramics
Future fusion powerplants must maintain tritium inventory to ensure safe and sustainable plant operations. Structural materials in the breeder blanket and tritium extraction systems will be exposed to tritium and lithium. Read more

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. Read more

Nanocellulose as a Sustainable Electrolyte for Electrochemical Energy Conversion

The Hydrogen Economy will help to shift society away from fossil fuels and contribute to decarbonisation. Polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) can convert renewable energy into green hydrogen, whilst polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) convert hydrogen into electrical power. Read more

Modelling exsolution: materials design for sustainable energy

One of the primary challenges for the global community is the supply of plentiful and affordable energy, moving the world away from dependence on fossil fuels by providing green alternatives. Read more

Valorisation of wet biomass wastes with carbon dioxide for sustainable fuel productions

The global wet organic waste production increases over years. It is recognised that the development of alternative, cleaner sources of fuels from wet biomass waste can help to secure energy sources and address environmental challenges. Read more

Understanding performance of austenitic stainless steels impure Helium environment for High-Temperature Gas Reactors (HTGR)

This innovative PhD project, conducted in collaboration with EDF Energy, invites a passionate and dedicated researcher to join a transformative exploration at the forefront of materials science, making meaningful contributions to the future of energy technology. Read more

Novel 2D-crystals for the hydrogen economy

Graphene represents a conceptually new and large class of materials that are one or a just few atoms thick. These materials are completely impermeable to all gases at ambient conditions, but, unexpectedly, some are highly permeable to protons, nuclei of hydrogen atoms. Read more

Fuel Retention and Release Mechanisms in Breeder Blanket Materials for Nuclear Fusion Devices

With climate change driving a desire to move towards a low-carbon/carbon-free energy landscape, power generated from nuclear fusion offers a high-capacity, baseload electricity generation for the future. Read more

Sideband Suppression on High Power Microwave Antenna

The project will contribute to a major Ministry of Defence (MoD) research programme intended to develop generation after next technologies for applications in defence and security, and this project will be co-funded by Teledyne e2v. Read more

Propagation of RF/microwave signals in plasma

The project will contribute to a major Ministry of Defence (MoD) research programme intended to develop generation after next technologies for applications in defence and security. Read more
