Hydrogen based energy is emerging as a leading fuel source in efforts to decarbonise industry and for use within transportation. Be it for use within combustion as an alternative to natural gas, or within fuel cells for electricity generation, hydrogen will become a major contributor in the efforts to combat climate change. However, in order for hydrogen-based energy to become ubiquitous as a fuel source, more needs to be known about its properties during combustion, and within the usage of hydrogen fuel cells. For this to be achieved, new forms of measurement technology are required. Within this PhD, the candidate will develop and utilise such instrumentation for use within hydrogen energy applications. Developed instrumentation may include new technology for the measurement of temperature, humidity, and spectral properties, with the instrumentation tested within end-use applications. In addition to the development of new forms of instrumentation, there will be opportunities for the instrumentation to be used to carry out fundamental scientific research into hydrogen energy.

氢基能源正在成为工业脱碳和交通运输中的主要燃料来源。无论是作为天然气的替代品在燃烧中使用，还是在燃料电池中发电，氢都将成为应对气候变化的主要贡献者。然而，为了使氢基能源作为燃料来源变得无处不在，需要更多地了解其在燃烧过程中的特性，以及氢燃料电池的使用。为了实现这一点，需要新形式的测量技术。在这个博士学位中，候选人将开发和使用这种用于氢能应用的仪器。开发的仪器可能包括测量温度、湿度和光谱特性的新技术，并在最终用户应用中对仪器进行测试。除了开发新形式的仪器外，还将有机会利用这种仪器对氢能进行基础科学研究。
