Green hydrogen generated through water electrolysis is growing in importance as a carbon free energy carrier for heavy duty electric vehicles. This 4-year ICASE studentship funded by EPSRC and Johnson Matthey targets the discovery of novel ion conducting polymers (ionomers) for proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells and electrolysers.[1] The project will provide excellent training in the field of polymeric materials and membrane technologies. It involves organic and polymer synthesis, analysis of the new materials (using NMR, IR, UV spectroscopies, mass spectrometry, GPC, thermal analysis (DSC, TGA) in addition to physical assessment of the polymeric materials via rheology and tensiometry. The project will involve close collaboration with the Ion Conducting Membrane Group at Johnson Matthey's Technology Centre based in South Oxfordshire where the Ph.D. student will evaluate novel membranes for ion conductivity, mechanical properties, and electrochemical performance

通过水电解产生的绿色氢气作为重型电动汽车的无碳能源载体越来越重要。这项为期 4 年的 ICASE 学生奖学金由 EPSRC 和庄信万丰资助，目标是发现用于质子交换膜 (PEM) 燃料电池和电解槽的新型离子导电聚合物（离聚物）。 [1]该项目将提供高分子材料和膜技术领域的优秀培训。它涉及有机和聚合物合成、新材料分析（使用 NMR、IR、UV 光谱、质谱、GPC、热分析（DSC、TGA）以及通过流变学和张力测定法对聚合物材料进行物理评估。该项目将与位于南牛津郡的庄信万丰技术中心的离子传导膜小组密切合作，博士生将评估新型膜的离子电导率、机械性能和电化学性能。
