PhD Opportunity in CO₂ Capture and Conversion at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in Hong Kong

PhD opportunity in CO₂ capture and conversion at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), with research aligned to chemical engineering, chemistry, materials science, and environmental engineering. The project focuses on sustainable technologies and climate solutions, especially CO₂ capture, CO₂ conversion, catalysis, electrochemistry, porous materials, and membranes.

The post says Daniel Lau is recruiting a PhD student. The linked PolyU programme page shows research postgraduate study in the Department of Applied Physics, including the research area of Green Energy & Carbon Neutrality, which explicitly covers electrochemical CO₂ conversion, electrocatalysis, heterogeneous catalysis, CO₂ capture, and utilization.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should hold Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Materials Science, Environmental Engineering, or a related field; have relevant research experience in CO₂ capture, catalysis, electrochemistry, porous materials, membranes, or related areas; and have IELTS 6.5 or above. Strong motivation for research and good English communication skills are also required.

Application: email your CV to [email protected] and check the programme page for the January 2027 intake. The PolyU page lists supporting documents such as two academic referee reports, a CV, a research proposal, and transcripts/certificates.

Deadline: 31 January 2027.
