Overview
Available from October 2010 The project is fully funded by Sasol Technology (UK) Ltd.
Supervisor: Prof Paul Midgley
Heterogeneous catalysis will become increasingly important in the drive for sustainable sources of energy and materials. Within this field there is a desire for better control over catalyst structure in order to further improve performance, a critical step being characterisation with nanometer scale resolution.
The project will use high resolution electron microscopy and electron tomography (3D electron microscopy) to analyse a number of industrially-important catalyst samples composed of metal nanoparticles supported on a variety of oxide supports. The analysis will focus on the particle size, shape and dispersion throughout the support and give insights into the nature of the metal crystallite/support interaction.
Amount awarded
The 3.5-year studentship provides full fees and maintenance (the starting stipend is expected to be £15,500 per year, tax free) and is available to 'home rate' students from the UK/EU. Students classified as 'overseas' will need to provide an additional fee from their own resources.
Eligible candidates
The minimum academic requirement for admission is an upper second class UK honours degree at the level of MSci, MEng, MPhys, MChem etc, or a lower second with a good Master's, (or overseas equivalents) in a relevant subject.
Applications will be considered as and when they are received and this position will be filled as soon as possible.
Inquiries
Any questions concerning the project can be addressed to Prof Paul Midgley (pam33@cam.ac.uk).
Application packs are available via:
