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.

作为与路博润重大合作的一部分，与 Anabel Lanterna 博士合作的博士生奖学金将于 2023 年开始提供。该项目将培养一种将可持续发展融入化学品和聚合物制造的文化，从最初的设计阶段一直到工业生产和使用。学生奖学金的重点是为工业上重要的分子提供可持续的途径，主要基于开发一种环境可持续的异构化和氢化方法，使用能源需求较少的催化剂（多相光催化剂），同时消除对高压氢气的需求。该项目将利用阳光进行化学制造，以实现（i）在温和条件（室温、大气压）下发生反应； (ii) 使用可再生原料和/或试剂，以及 (iii) 尽量减少化石能源的使用。
