Two PhD scholarships are available for a 2027 start at Deakin University (Institute for Frontier Materials, Burwood Campus / Melbourne ) in research on polymer electrolytes for sodium batteries . The projects are supported by an Australian Research Council-funded project and focus on automated molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to screen poly(ionic liquid)-based materials . The research aims to identify molecular design strategies for highly conductive electrolytes with favourable mechanical pr...

PhD opportunity at The University of Queensland (St Lucia, Australia) in photothermal catalysis and solar methanol synthesis . The project, titled “Unravelling the photothermal effect in solar methanol synthesis” , explores how light-driven and heat-driven effects work together to improve catalyst performance for converting small molecules such as CO2 or CO into fuels like methanol under mild, energy-efficient conditions. You will work across chemical engineering , chemistry , materials science ...
