Chemistry PhD Research Projects PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in the UK

We have 712 Chemistry PhD Research Projects PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in the UK

Programming Colloidal Self-Assembly for Advanced Materials

A PhD place is available with Dr Dwaipayan Chakrabarti in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham on a project themed on designing and developing colloidal advanced materials, using high-performance computing, underpinned by theories of statistical mechanics and wave propagation in periodic structures. Read more

Healable Polymer Materials

The past four decades of science have witnessed how chemists have learnt from nature, in part by trial and error as well as elegant design, to understand and master the use of weak non-covalent interactions and self-assembly processes in synthetic systems to realise complex multi-component assemblies that exhibit attractive functionalities. Read more

PhD in Physical Chemistry: Uncovering structure in the next generation of sustainable batteries

We have a vacancy for a PhD student working in the area of physical chemistry. While lithium dominates current battery technology, there is considerable drive to move away from lithium salts to more abundant or lower cost alternatives. Read more

PhD studentship in Organic/Supramolecular Chemistry

A fully funded PhD position (tuition fees and stipend) is available in the group of Dr James Cooper (https://www.cooperchemistry.com/) at the University of Reading. Read more

Theremoelectric Nanomaterials for Energy Recovery

Thermoelectric materials offer the unique capability to convert waste heat directly into electrical energy. Efficiency is related to a figure of merit (ZT S2sT/k), that is determined by the Seebeck coefficient (S), electrical conductivity (s) and thermal conductivity (k). Read more

Inspired by nature: sulfide minerals as sustainable and efficient thermoelectric materials

We have a vacancy for a PhD student to join a project at the forefront of research in thermoelectric materials, which can be used in devices for the direct conversion of waste heat into electrical power. Read more

PhD Studentships - Process Industries: Net Zero Data Driven Optimisation for Process Scale-up

Award summary. These studentships provide 100% fees (Home & international), a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £18,622 (2023/24 UKRI rate), and a research training support grant of £20,000. Read more

Fully-funded PhD Studentship in The Corrosion of Magnox Spent Nuclear Fuel

The safe storage of the UK’s nuclear legacy is one of the key aims for Sellafield. Part of that legacy, Magnox reactors were fuelled using uranium metal rods clad in a magnesium-aluminium alloy. Read more

Vapour Deposited Perovskites for High Performance Multi-Junction Photovoltaic Devices

Metal-halide perovskite based solar cells have now achieved a light to electricity conversion efficiency of 26.1%, making them the leading emerging thin-film solar cell material. 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

Investigating the effect of plastics recycling on nanoplastic production in packaging applications

Nanoplastics, defined as plastic particles measuring less than 1000 nanometres, have emerged as a significant concern due to their ability to infiltrate ecosystems, posing potential risks to the environment. Read more

Locking CO2 into cement: new perspectives from advanced spectroscopic techniques

EPSRC DTP studentship in Engineering. 3.5 years starting 1st October 2024, 1st January 2025 or 1st April 2025. Project Summary. Our aim is to improve carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) in the cement and concrete industry by introducing reactive carbonates to replace clinkers. Read more

PhD in Supramolecular Chemistry: Metallo-Peptide Cages - Peptides as Adaptable Building Blocks in Metal-Organic Supramolecular Self-Assembly

We are a synthetic chemistry group working in supramolecular and biological chemistry, and nanotechnology. We work in the Francis Crick Institute in London, and at King's College London - find more details at https://www.mcternanresearchgroup.com/. Read more

Chemical energy conversion in biology studied using advanced spectroscopic and structural tools

Redox properties of metal-containing active sites are critically important to many biocatalytic processes. one third of all proteins contain a redox-active metal, and ca 22% of submissions to the Protein Data Bank contain a transition metal. Read more

Atomistic Simulations of Surface Chemistry underpinning the Atomic-Scale Processing of Materials for AI-driven Nanoelectronics Applications

Project description. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) and atomic layer etching (ALE) are crucial technologies in semiconductor processing, especially as nanoelectronics devices become smaller and more complex. Read more

Solid-Supported Chalcogen Bonding Catalysis

A 3.5 year fully-funded PhD position is available in the group of Dr Mark Greenhalgh at the University of Warwick, in collaboration with GoldenKeys High-Tech Materials Co. 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

Structural-guided PROTAC targeting of BMX to modulate apoptotic sensitivity in disease

What determines at the molecular level whether a cell lives or dies? Regulation of the cellular life–death switch is essential in healthy cells for normal foetal development and for the clearance of damaged cells. Read more
