Masters - Sustainable Hydrogen Evolution Catalysts (October 2020 - February 2023)
Studentship funded by ESPRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Sustainable Hydrogen - SusHy. Based at University of Nottingham under Dr Graham Newton, Dr Darren Walsh and Dr Lee Johnson.
UKRI Project Reference (CDT): EP/S023909/1
UKRI Project Reference (studentship): 2445755
Courtney is working in collaboration with the QUILL (Queen's University Ionic Liquid Laboratories) Research Centre on the development of ionic liquid electrolytes for the production of green hydrogen. The ionic liquids allow for the investigation of higher operating temperatures than conventional electrolytes, which improves reaction kinetics; thus diversifying the range of materials which may be studied as catalysts and electrodes. Research will then be undertaken to explore the stability and efficiency of these systems during prolonged electrolysis.
