New functional oxide materials for catalysis

A PhD position in the field of discovery of new oxide materials for heterogeneous catalysis applications is available in collaboration with Johnson Matthey and the company CBMM. The aim is to use solvothermal synthesis conditions to prepare new oxide materials with control of composition and crystal morphology. X-ray diffraction and other facilities at Warwick will be used to characterise the materials, as well as X-ray and neutron techniques at the Harwell Campus. Time will be spent in the industrial collaborators’ laboratories to assess properties for applications in areas such as automotive exhaust catalysis and electrocatalysis.

The project is available to start as soon as possible but before October 2018.
