Job Description

Project Overview

The University of Cambridge is seeking a highly motivated PhD student to join a research project focused on improving the efficiency of hydrogen generation in electrolysis. This project is part of a larger initiative to develop sustainable energy solutions, and the successful candidate will contribute to the development of innovative technologies for hydrogen production.

Research Objectives

  • Investigate the processes behind bubble formation, growth, and separation in electrolysis
  • Develop a comprehensive understanding of the role of electrode structure, composition, and surfaces in bubble formation
  • Design and fabricate electrodes with optimized surface properties to control bubble formation

Methodology

The project will employ a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches, including:

  • Optical electron and atomic force microscopy-based mapping and characterization of electrode structures
  • Advanced functional property imaging (surface potential, grain structure, chemical functionality)

Requirements

The successful candidate will have a strong background in engineering, physics, chemistry, materials science, or a related field. A good understanding of electrolysis and hydrogen production processes is essential. The candidate should also have excellent communication and teamwork skills.

What We Offer

The University of Cambridge offers a fully funded PhD studentship, including a stipend and tuition fees at the UK rate. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with a renowned research team and contribute to the development of innovative technologies for sustainable energy.
