Ymchwil
Roedd fy ngwaith PhD ac ôl-ddoethurol yn canolbwyntio ar ddylunio a datblygu catalyddion metel gwerthfawr, a'u defnyddio mewn amrywiaeth o brosesau diwydiannol gwerthfawr, gan sylwi ar synthesis uniongyrchol hydrogen perocsid. Mae ein hymchwil helaeth i'r maes hwn wedi dangos bod gronynnau bach, wedi'u rhannu'n fân o Au a Pd aloi yn hwyluso detholusrwydd uchel yn yr adwaith, lle mae bron i 100% o'r H2 wedi'i ymgorffori yn y H2O2 ac ni ffurfir dŵr. Mae hwn yn ofyniad allweddol ar gyfer proses ddiwydiannol, ac rydym wedi cyhoeddi nifer o batentau ar y broses hon.
Roedd fy ngwaith ym Mhrifysgol Metropolitan Tokyo gyda'r Athro Haruta yn caniatáu i mi ddatblygu a gwella methodoleg paratoi catalyddion, a lleihau faint o fetel sydd wedi'i gynnwys yn y catalydd terfynol, naill ai trwy baratoi'n uniongyrchol neu drwy drwytho ar ôl metel. Yn yr achos hwn, mae gan ddeunyddiau sy'n cynnwys 0.05% metel yr un gweithgaredd â deunyddiau sy'n cario 100x mwy o fetel.
Mae gwobr Clara Immerwhar a'r cydweithio dilynol gyda'r Athro Strasser yn TU Berlin wedi ein galluogi i gael mynediad at nifer o ddeunyddiau sefydlog hynod weithgar mewn modd sy'n defnyddio technoleg microdon, y deunyddiau cystadleuol hynny sy'n tueddu i ofyn am amseroedd paratoi llawer hirach (>24h).
Yn dilyn fy nghymrodoriaeth ymchwil canghellor, rwyf wedi ehangu'r themâu hyn ac mae gen i brosiectau ymchwil gweithredol sy'n ymchwilio i fecanwaith ffurfio nanoronynnau, effaith grwpiau wyneb ar gyfansoddiad siâp aloi, gan ychwanegu gwerth at ffrydiau gwastraff seliwlosig a diheintio dŵr / wyneb ymhlith eraill, gyda ffocws cryf ar gemeg werdd. Rydym wedi'n gwreiddio o fewn amgylchedd ymchwil CCI cydweithredol, ac yn gweithio'n agos ein cydweithwyr cyfrifiannu a microsgopeg sy'n canolbwyntio, a grwpiau ymchwil allanol yn Japan, UDA ac yn yr UE.
Rydym yn agored i gefnogi ceisiadau cymrodoriaeth, myfyrwyr ymchwil PhD hunan-ariannu a chydweithrediadau!
I gael rhagor o wybodaeth am brosiectau penodol sydd ar gael gyda Dr Jennifer Edwards, adolygwch adran Catalysis a gwyddoniaeth ryngwyneb ein themâu prosiect ymchwil.
