Energy Technologies (funding) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 140 Energy Technologies (funding) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Last chance to apply

Membrane-less Redox Flow Batteries

This project will focus on the development of membrane-less redox flow battery systems for grid-scale energy storage. We will use novel aqueous electrolytes and new types of cell chemistries as well as “bespoke” systems based on organic molecules. Read more

Study Engineering in the USA with the George Washington University

Doctoral students comprise the backbone of research conducted at the School of Engineering & Applied Science. Through funding support from faculty, internal and external grants, doctoral students can expect to take 4-6 years to complete the program through coursework, research credits and writing their dissertation.

Condition monitoring and non-destructive testing of dynamic cable for offshore renewable energy industry

Offshore wind energy is central to UK’s ambition of transitioning to a sustainable future electricity grid. The growth in power generation from floating wind turbines is increasingly further away from shore and utilising the floating wind turbine support structures. 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

Efficient Cryostasis for Transport of Liquid Hydrogen

Supervisory Team: Edward Richardson; Stephen Turnock. Project description. Liquid hydrogen (LH2) storage and transport enables flexible exploitation of potentially carbon-free energy. Read more

Hydrogen trapping and permeation in metallic and ceramic coatings for fusion powerplant applications

  Research Group: Coatings and Ceramics
Future fusion powerplants must maintain tritium inventory to ensure safe and sustainable plant operations. Structural materials in the breeder blanket and tritium extraction systems will be exposed to tritium and lithium. Read more

Condition monitoring and non-destructive testing of dynamic cable for offshore renewable energy industry

Offshore wind energy is central to UK’s ambition of transitioning to a sustainable future electricity grid. The growth in power generation from floating wind turbines is increasingly further away from shore and utilising the floating wind turbine support structures. Read more

Modelling the Role of Hard Particles in Hard Facing Alloys

Supervisory Team: Robert Wood, Georges Limbert and Dave Stewart (RRSL). Project description. Hard facing alloys, such as those used in nuclear power plant, are composite materials comprising carbides (and other hard phases), in galling resistant metallic matrices. Read more

Numerical models for a new combustion era

Hydrogen will be, among the synthetic fuels, the preferable energy carrier able to address the spatial and temporal separation between energy production (renewable source) and consumption. Read more

Biodiversity and solar farms: risks and opportunities Ref: 5099

Location: The academic supervisors are based at the University of Exeter’s Cornwall Campus in Penryn, Cornwall, and field work will be undertaken in South-East England – the balance between time spent at each location will be discussed at offer stage and during the project. . Read more
