catalyst PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for UK Students

We have 32 catalyst PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for UK Students

Chemical Recycling of PET Plastic Using Thermo-Responsive Catalyst Supports

There is an urgent need to devise processes for recycling plastics, with an estimated 460 million metric tonnes of plastics being utilised worldwide in 2019 alone, of which only 10% is recycled globally, the remainder going to incineration, landfill or export. Read more

Synergistic Experimental and Data-driven Catalyst Development for Sustainable Synthesis

The Thomas Group in collaboration with GSK and Dr Ephrath Solel Moroshko are now recruiting a motivated PhD student to develop a new method for the discovery and application of sustainable catalysis. Read more

PhD in Chemistry - The development of kinetic models for phosgene synthesis over heterogeneous catalysts

Phosgene is an important intermediate used in the industrial manufacture of polyurethanes, polycarbonates, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It is typically manufactured industrially via the gas phase reaction between carbon monoxide and chlorine over an activated carbon catalyst. Read more

PhD in Chemistry: Studies in heterogeneous catalysts

The Max Planck Centre for fundamental studies on heterogeneous catalyst was established in 2019 and has two themes operating on experimental heterogeneous catalysis; namely catalyst design and acetylene chemistry. Read more

Photoreforming of biomass to hydrogen in seawater

This project focuses on production of hydrogen, a promising candidate for the next generation of energy vectors, through photoreforming of biomass in the presence of seawater. Read more

Large-scale electrochemical DFT models of a PEM hydrogen fuel cell

Supervisory Team: Chris-Kriton Skylaris (90%) Andrea Russell (10%). Project description. Proton-exchange Membrane (PEM) hydrogen fuel cells are an emerging technology for environmentally sustainable transport and other carbon-neutral energy applications. Read more

Reducing greenhouse gas and air pollutants emissions from hybrid vehicles

  Research Group: School of Chemical and Process Engineering
This project is to investigate the co-benefits of cleaner fuels and novel exhaust aftertreatment systems on the mitigation of emissions from hybrid vehicles. Read more

Understanding Fischer-Tropsch catalysts by in-situ spectroscopy

This PhD project is an exciting opportunity to apply and develop the cutting-edge characterisation techniques available at the University of Manchester, working with bp as industrial partners to help solve one of the biggest challenges in the transition to Net Zero. Read more

A 4-year PhD studentship on “ Understanding The Property-structure Relationship Through Combined XANES/DFT Structure Simulation”

Supervisors. Prof Gopinathan Sankar (UCL), Prof Furio Cora (UCL) and Huw Marchbank (Johnson Matthey PLC). A 4 year PhD studentship is available in the Department of Chemistry, University College London, which will commence in September 2024. . Read more

Understanding decoupled electrochemistry for energy storage, conversion and electrosynthesis

Background. Decoupled electrochemistry is broadly the process of using a mediating chargeable redox species to drive an electrochemical process with a freely dispersed catalyst instead of a reaction directly at an electrode. Read more
