Wastewater treatment processes have high energy costs and are challenging to optimise due to the complex coupled processes occurring. Over 10 billion litres of sewage...
The management of multiphase sludge waste is critical to on-going operations within the nuclear industry which aim to transport aggregated waste to interim storage facilities....
Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanoparticles that can emit light through either photoluminescence or electroluminescence (EL). The latter enables one to create lighting devices in...
As the UK moves towards net-zero emissions, developing low-cost, high-energy density lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is crucial. A major cost driver in LIB manufacturing is the...
The proposed project primarily addresses the research challenge of integrating low-carbon energy systems for sustainable and economically affordable energy conversion, storage and utilisation. Low carbon...
This project combines mathematical/computational modelling with geological and geophysical parameters to explore fluid and heat flow capacities of potential future geothermal reservoirs within UK aquifers....
Internal carbon dioxide (CO2) corrosion of steel infrastructure is a degradation mechanism known to occur across mature energy, renewable energy and carbon abatement technologies. Despite...
Hyperloop is a newly proposed mode of transportation where vehicles move within a tube held at vacuum-type conditions at speeds of up to 1200km/h. Currently,...
The water sector is facing crucial challenges because of climate change and population growth, compromising serviceability. The demand for water and energy is expected to...
In August 2013, preliminary tests were undertaken in which a working proof-of-principle was established of the novel wave-energy device, in a 1.2m by 0.2m x...
