About this position

The University of Liverpool is inviting applications for a PhD project titled Air2Fuel – Integrating and studying CO2 reduction electrocatalysts into artificial photosynthetic devices.

The research will focus on developing, testing, and studying photocatalysts and CO2-reduction electrocatalysts. The project offers practical work with cutting-edge materials alongside the use of spectroscopic tools to investigate catalyst behavior and performance.

Professor Alexander Cowan, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Liverpool, is promoting the opportunity. The project sits at the intersection of catalytic chemistry, materials science, spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and artificial photosynthesis, with the broader goal of integrating CO2-reduction catalysts into devices inspired by natural photosynthetic systems.

The research environment will involve experimental catalyst development and characterization within the University of Liverpool’s chemistry and related research communities.

Funding details

Funding covers a stipend and home-level UK tuition fees.
