PhD in Material Physics

We are looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic doctoral student in the field of synthesis, characterisation and/or modelling of next generation materials for hydrogen storage and compression at the University of Nottingham./nYou will join our multidisciplinary team of currently eight academics, seven research fellows, and 15 PhD students investigating novel multinary reactive hydride composites and phases with enhanced hydrogen density for hydrogen storage, increased ion mobility for hydrogen storage, and solid ion conductors and low enthalpy metal hydrides for hydrogen compressors. The project will cover a wide range of skill sets and range from experimental work on synthesis and characterisation to the modelling of hydrogen metal reactions./nYou will investigate hydrogen reaction properties of metal hydrides, complex hydrides, their composites, and analyse, characterise or model the reaction pathways and the properties of involved phases.
