IRELAND; PhD Studentship in Perovskites for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

A 3 year Research Studentship in CPI (www.cpi.ul.ie) for studies of perovskites for anode materials in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells. Fuel cells provide chemical energy from electrical energy. This project aims to synthesize and characterise a number of perovskites as catalytic materials for use as fuel cell electrodes. Some experience in solid-state chemistry would be an advantage.

Graduates holding a Class II(1) or First Class honours degree (or equivalent) in an engineering discipline are eligible.

The remuneration will be approx €12 000 p.a. and students from the EC will have remission of fees.
