Advanced Diagnoses of Fuel cell modules and optimisation of lamination conditions for Bramble Energy

这个博士项目将代表着首席导师罗德里·杰维斯的新合作，但也是与布雷特教授合作的延续。这个项目与我的学术目标非常一致，我有将新材料应用到燃料电池和燃料电池诊断方面的背景。将先进的诊断、原位和同步加速器技术应用于电化学设备是我第一次申请拨款的重点，在我职业生涯的这个阶段，在这个主题上得到一位博士生的支持将是非常有价值的。简单地说，这个项目的目的是开发新的先进诊断技术，以便研究PEMFC和PEMFC堆的行为和内部工作，并从功率和成本的角度优化MEA的叠层条件。来自Bramble的共同监督将确保学者和公司之间的密切工作关系，并为学生提供对公司和他们的技术的全面接触。

This PhD project would represent a new collaboration for the principle supervisor, Rhodri Jervis, but a continuation of a collaboration with Prof Brett. The project is well aligned with my academic goals, and I have a background in applying new materials to fuel cells and fuel cell diagnostics. Applying advanced diagnostics, in situ and synchrotron techniques to electrochemical devices is the focus of my first grant application, and having the support of a PhD student in this topic at this stage in my career will be hugely valuable.Briefly, the aim of this project is to develop new advanced diagnostic techniques in order to investigate the behaviour and internal working of the PEMFC and PEMFC stack as well as optimising the lamination conditions of the MEAs in terms of power and cost. Co supervision from Bramble will ensure a close working relationship between the academic and the company, as well as affording the student a full exposure to the company and their technology.
