PhD Studentship in Nanoengineered Capsules for Heat Storage and Delivery Supervisors: Prof. Dmitry Shchukin and Dr. Gilberto Teobaldi Applications are invited for a graduate to join the Stephenson Institute for Renewable Energy, Department of Chemistry, University of Liverpool, UK for a funded 42 month period of research leading to the award of PhD. PhD project contributes to the development of a novel generation of heat storage materials by applying nanoencapsulation approach for control over the heat uptake and release on demand and to decrease the size of heat storage unit to nanometer range thus attaining it high energy capacity values due to high surface-to-volume ratio and structural homogeneity. Key to the functioning of nanocapsules is the structure...
