New Materials for Catalysis: solvent-free synthesis, atomic imaging and selectivity via nanoparticle beam deposition

这位研究工程师将常驻斯旺西大学，并将与强生马泰技术中心(JMTC)在雷丁进行合作，并将专注于选择性催化和电池应用的下一代材料，以及与该大学合作理论工作的接口。项目工作本身将需要设计和制造具有新的斯旺西簇源的特定纳米颗粒，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来表征，并通过测量它们的化学性能来调整纳米颗粒的设计。纳米粒子束沉积为环境友好型纳米催化和生物医药的合成提供了一种全新的途径。该方法是溶剂，因此没有流出物，并避免了有毒的盐，从而满足了对可持续生产日益增长的需求。在执行这一项目时，研究工程师将在斯旺西的纳米材料实验室工作，该实验室专门从事从以前的微克级别提升到克+级别，从而实现前沿研究和开发。

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.
