Chemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for UK Students in the UK

We have 506 Chemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for UK Students in the UK

Automated experimental functional materials discovery for net zero technologies

The discovery of materials that will drive technologies for the net zero transition, such as batteries, solar absorbers, rare-earth-free magnets for wind power and myriad other unmet needs, is a scientific and societal grand challenge that requires experimental realisation of materials in the laboratory. Read more

High-throughput first-principle simulations of charge transport in organic semiconductors

This project focuses on application of first-principle, fully quantum simulation methods such as Hybrid Monte-Carlo to study charge transport in a vast class of quasi-2D molecular organic semiconductors (rubrene, pentacene, and >4000 other materials). Read more

Degradable and sustainable polymers in the Environment

The influence of plastic pollution on our environment has been well documented, however, there remains a knowledge gap between relating to how new polymers and plastics might biodegrade. Read more

Enzyme Cascades controlled in the Electrochemical Leaf for Discovery in Antimicrobial Strategy

Antibiotic discovery is usually aimed at single entities, for example a bacterial enzyme or efflux protein. This also means that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) mechanisms are considered in terms of the individual response, for example, mutations in a single target enzyme, affording resistance to the drug. Read more

Cooperative catalysis using iron-based Organometallic frustrated Lewis pairs

Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) has led to major advances in the field of small molecule activation and catalysis, being considered as one of the most exciting modern-day developments in main group chemistry. Read more

Machine learning analysis of large-scale crystal structure prediction

Supervisory Team:  Prof. Graeme Day. Project description. A fully funded 3.5-year PhD studentship is available in the area of computational materials discovery, as part of a prestigious international Synergy grant funded by the European Research Council. Read more

Rational design of photo/electrocatalysts towards Green Nitrogen Fixation and Ammonia Production

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

High-throughput solid state synthesis of functional inorganic materials for net zero applications

The discovery of new functional materials to drive technologies for the net zero transition, such as batteries, solar absorbers, rare-earth-free magnets for wind power and a myriad of other unmet needs, is a scientific and societal grand challenge. Read more

Organometallic and Lanthanide Complexes for Upconversion Luminescence

PhD Supervisor. Richard C. Knighton. Project Overview. The aim of the project is to work on state-of-the-art heteropolymetallic architectures (organometallic transition-metal and lanthanide complexes) in the area of two-photon molecular upconversion luminescence, for application as novel bioimaging probes.
