The Research Engineer will be based at Swansea University and will work collaboratively with the Johnson Matthey Technology Centre (JMTC) in Reading, and will focus on next generation materials for selective catalysis and battery applications and interface to collaborative theory work at the University. The project work itself will entail the design and fabrication of specific nanoparticles with the new Swansea cluster source, aiming to enhance selectivity in model chemical transformations. These will be characterised by advanced electron microscopy and their chemical performance measured to tune the nanoparticle design. Nanoparticle beam deposition represents a radical new approach to the environmentally-friendly synthesis of nanoparticles for catalysis and biomedicine. The method is solvent and thus effluent free and avoids toxic salts, thus satisfying the growing demand for sustainable manufacture. In carrying out this project the Research Engineer will work within the Nanomaterials Laboratory at Swansea, which specialises in upscaling from the previous microgram level to the gram+ level, enabling frontier research and development.

研究工程师将设在斯旺西大学，并将与阅读的约翰逊万丰技术中心（JMTC）合作，并将专注于选择性催化和电池应用的下一代材料，以及与大学合作理论工作的接口。该项目工作本身将涉及使用新的斯旺西簇源设计和制造特定的纳米颗粒，旨在提高模型化学转化的选择性。这些将通过先进的电子显微镜进行表征，并测量其化学性能以调整纳米颗粒设计。纳米粒子束沉积代表了一种全新的方法，以环境友好的催化和生物医学纳米粒子的合成。该方法是无溶剂的，因此无废水，避免了有毒盐，从而满足了对可持续生产日益增长的需求。在执行该项目时，研究工程师将在斯旺西的纳米材料实验室内工作，该实验室专门从事从以前的微克级到克+级的升级，从而实现前沿研究和开发。
