We have 34 Chemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in York
Accelerating reaction discovery using innovative PGM catalyst systems
Background. Organic compounds undergo an eclectic array of reactions with PGM catalysts. The discovery of new reactions catalysed by PGMs is a labour-intensive process. Read more
Using Gels to Encapsulate Reactive Low-Valent Platinum Group Metals for Applications in Catalysis and Synthesis
Background. Supramolecular gels are fascinating materials with great potential in synthesis for the delivery of active catalysts into reaction systems. Read more
Ammonia futures – the changing face of atmospheric nitrogen emissions
Introduction. Air pollution is the greatest environmental threat to human health, and impacts biodiversity, and ecosystem services. Read more
EPSRC Fully funded Project: Continuous-flow Dark Fermentation of Wheat Straw by Anaerobic Fungi to Produce Hydrogen Gas and Organic Acids
Hydrogen gas and organic acids (OAs) (e.g. acetic, lactic, formic) are valuable industrial products, with hydrogen serving as a clean energy, carbon-free fuel and OAs being precursors for fuel, bioplastics, food additives, pharmaceuticals and other chemicals. Read more
De-novo palladium-containing enzymes
Background. This project will be carried out in collaboration with Johnson-Matthey. Metalloenzymes are critical for catalyzing a wide range of biochemical transformations, including biomass degradation. Read more
Harnessing Organometallic Catalysis to Optimise Clinical Diagnostics using Hyperpolarisation.
Background The use of magnetically aligned probes (hyperpolarisation) has become a widely-recognised approach for enhancing the detection of biochemical markers associated with diseases using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and offers significant potential to improve clinical diagnostics.
