About the Project

The work proposed in this project aims to understand the impact of water chemistry on the electrode/electrolyte interface, and thereby catalyst and device performance for the production of green hydrogen from sea water sources. In particular, we wish to elucidate the effect of water chemistry on interfacial phenomena and its subsequent effect on electrochemical reactions, which are key to efficient operation of the electrolyser.

The outcomes will be used for device design and material selection thereby improving energy efficiency of produced green hydrogen.

In addition to undertaking cutting edge research, students are also registered for the Postgraduate Certificate in Researcher Development (PGCert), which is a supplementary qualification that develops a student’s skills, networks and career prospects.
