招生简介
In 2018, the UK government released its strategy in a report entitled «The road to zero» presenting new measures to clean up road transport and lead the world in developing, manufacturing, and using zero-emission road vehicles. In June 2019, an Act of Parliament required that, by 2050, the country's net emissions of greenhouse gases be reduced by 100% relative to 1990 levels. Transport is the second largest contributor of GHG (after electricity and heat production); developing hydrogen in Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (FCEV) is a promising avenue to meet that requirement.

FCEV is an electric vehicle that uses a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) with a small battery to power its on-board electric motor. The PEMFC converts the chemical energy of hydrogen fuel into electricity, heat, and water without any carbon emissions. However, durability and cost factors remain the significant barriers to fuel cell (FC) commercialization. More fundamental research is then needed to overcome these barriers. Issues such as new material development and water and heat management remain the focus of fuel-cell performance improvement and therefore cost reduction.

This project aims to develop a low-cost, high-energy-density, high-energy conversion efficiency high-temperature PEMFC stack for the FCEV, based on a single cell's novel electrolyte and catalyst materials.

The candidate will investigate and identify alternative electrolyte materials with high ionic conductivity, mechanical strength, and chemical stability. The candidate will characterize and select novel catalysts with lower cost and reduction in Pt-loading. This project will need modelling to investigate the thermofluid dynamics and degradation mechanisms of a single cell and PEMFC stack and an experimental study of a small lab-scale prototype to validate the stack heat and mass transfer behaviour, stability, and durability. Potential benefits for FCEV, e.g., cost reduction, enhanced durability, and environmental impact, will be evaluated through techno-economic-environmental analysis.

The successful candidate will work in a multidisciplinary environment, including materials science, heat transfer, modelling, and system integration assessment. We are looking for a passionate candidate with a mechanical/design/chemical engineering background, self-motivation and self-direction, teamwork spirit, and communication skills.

The Principal Supervisor for this project is Dr Lu Xing.

Eligibility and How to Apply:

Please note eligibility requirement:
Academic excellence of the proposed student i.e. 2:1 (or equivalent GPA from non-UK universities [preference for 1st class honours]); or a Masters (preference for Merit or above); or APEL evidence of substantial practitioner achievement.
Appropriate IELTS score, if required.
Applicants cannot apply for this funding if currently engaged in Doctoral study at Northumbria or elsewhere or if they have previously been awarded a PhD.
