The PhD project based in Bristol aims to revolutionize hydrogen storage technologies by developing innovative metal-organic framework (MOF)-polymer hybrid composites. These materials are designed to enable high-density hydrogen storage at lower pressures, ideal for transportation and energy storage applications. The project's objectives include synthesizing advanced MOF-polymer composites with optimized pore structures, characterizing their properties comprehensively, evaluating hydrogen storage performance under various conditions, and assessing their sustainability for long-term viability. Candidates with a strong background in chemistry, materials science, or related disciplines are invited to apply for this cutting-edge research opportunity. Prior research experience is advantageous, and applicants without a master's degree but with a first-class undergraduate degree may be considered. Proficiency in English at Profile E level is required for non-native English speakers. The funding for this project will be determined through a competitive selection process, with a minimum tax-free stipend set at the UKRI rate for the year 2024/25. Eligibility and residence requirements can be verified on the UK Research and Innovation website. To apply, candidates need to contact the project supervisor before submitting an online application, where they should select Aerospace Engineering PhD and specify their interest in research funding. Options for funding sources include 'University of Bristol scholarship' and 'Engineering and Physical Science Research Council'. For inquiries about the research topic, Dr. Sanjit Nayak can be contacted, while questions regarding eligibility and the application process can be directed to Engineering Postgraduate Research Admissions.
