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

这个博士项目将代表一个新的合作的主要主管，Rhodri Jervis，但与布雷特教授合作的延续。该项目与我的学术目标非常一致，我有将新材料应用于燃料电池和燃料电池诊断的背景。将先进的诊断技术、原位技术和同步加速器技术应用于电化学设备是我第一次申请资助的重点，在我职业生涯的这个阶段，在这个主题上获得一名博士生的支持将是非常有价值的。该项目的目的是开发新的先进诊断技术，以研究PEMFC和PEMFC堆的行为和内部工作，以及优化在功率和成本方面的MEA的层压条件。来自Bramble的共同监督将确保学术和公司之间的密切工作关系，并让学生充分接触公司及其技术。

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.
