UK: PhD Studentship in Materials for Energy Storage at Heriot-Watt University

Overview

Developing affordable clean and renewable energy technologies is critical to meeting increasing energy demands across all sectors of our society. It is critical that suitable materials for energy storage are developed to meet demands associated with using renewable energy sources. These materials must be low cost, clean and reliable.

The Project

Applications are invited for a 42 month studentship in Materials for Energy Storage at Heriot-Watt University leading to the award of a PhD. The research will focus on synthesis, characterization and electrochemical testing of novel materials for supercapacitors. Transmission electron microscopy and the associated techniques of energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and energy loss spectroscopy will be used to understand the relationship between structure and morphology with regard to the application of the materials being studied, using the facilities at Glasgow University.

Entry requirements and funding

We welcome applications from graduates who have, or expect to obtain, a good degree (first class or upper second) in chemistry, materials or a related discipline. The studentship has funding for maintenance and fees at the current standard EPSRC UK/EU rate. Owing to the nature of the funding, applications are restricted to UK and EU nationals.


How to apply
