A PhD studentship working with Dr Anabel Lanterna is available for a 2023 start as part of a major collaboration with Lubrizol.The project will develop a culture of embedding sustainability in chemicals and polymer manufacturing from the earliest stages of design through to industrial production and use. Focussed on enabling sustainable routes to industrially important molecules, the studentship will be largely based around developing an environmentally sustainable method for isomerisations and hydrogenations using less energy-demanding catalysts (heterogeneous photocatalysts) while removing the need for high pressure hydrogen. The project will harness sunlight for chemical manufacturing to enable (i) reactions under mild conditions (room temperature, atmospheric pressure); (ii) the use of renewable feedstocks and/or reagents, and (iii) minimising the use of fossil energy.

作为与Lubrizol的主要合作的一部分，与Anabel Lanterna合作的博士生可用于2023年。该项目将开发一种将可持续性嵌入化学和聚合物制造中的文化，从设计的最早阶段到工业生产和使用。该学生专注于实现具有工业重要分子的可持续途径，主要是基于开发一种环境可持续的方法，用于使用较少的能量催化剂（异质光催化剂）来开发同异构和氢化方法，同时消除高压氢的需求。该项目将利用化学制造的阳光，以使（i）在轻度条件下（室温，大气压）在（i）反应； （ii）使用可再生原料和/或试剂，以及（iii）最大程度地减少化石能量的使用。
