Chemistry (fuel cells) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 20 Chemistry (fuel cells) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Sustainable Carbon Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Energy Conversion in Hydrogen Fuel Cells

The Hydrogen Economy will help to shift society away from fossil fuels and contribute to decarbonisation. Electrochemical processes are at the heart of the hydrogen economy providing a means to convert renewable energy into green hydrogen via electrolysis or converting hydrogen into electrical power using fuel cells. Read more

Development of Advanced Anode Materials for Proton-based Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

Project description. This aim of this project is to develop a next generation hydrogen production technology, proton-based solid oxide electrolysis cell, that can effectively support the rapid growth of intermittent renewable energy generated from solar and wind sources. 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

Understanding nanoparticle hydrogen fuel cell catalysts using electron microscopy

About the Project. Project Description. Solving the worlds energy crisis is the most pressing need for humanity as we move away from globally harming and unsustainable fossil fuels for energy production. Read more

Nanocellulose as a Sustainable Electrolyte for Electrochemical Energy Conversion

The Hydrogen Economy will help to shift society away from fossil fuels and contribute to decarbonisation. Polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) can convert renewable energy into green hydrogen, whilst polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) convert hydrogen into electrical power. Read more

Experimental Discovery of New Ionic Conducting Materials Towards Net-Zero Technologies

Materials that allow the rapid motion of ions are essential for the new energy technologies needed to meet the challenge of net zero, such as batteries, fuel cells and electrolysers for green hydrogen. Read more

Novel 2D-crystals for the hydrogen economy

Graphene represents a conceptually new and large class of materials that are one or a just few atoms thick. These materials are completely impermeable to all gases at ambient conditions, but, unexpectedly, some are highly permeable to protons, nuclei of hydrogen atoms. Read more

Novel Superprotonic Materials for Hydrogen Technologies

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Sustainable recycling of end-of-life electric vehicle batteries

Project: The age of the electric car is all but upon us. Billions of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are reaching their lifetime along with the widespread application of electric vehicles. Read more

Electrolyte design and engineering for next-generation batteries

Project. Advances in the rechargeable batteries for storage of electrical energy have always been the driving force for the improvement of our society, from communications to transportation and electricity delivery. Read more
