About this scholarship
The Hydrogen Storage Research Group (HSRG) at Curtin University is involved in an ongoing research project with Velox Energy Materials to develop a solution for exporting hydrogen from Australia as a powder. This multi-faceted research project covers the electrochemical synthesis of sodium borohydride along with its hydrolysis to form hydrogen gas. We are seeking 2 future Ph.D. students to be part of a large team of researchers advancing towards commercialising this new technology that may form part of the solution to energy storage and delivery. Our research labs are equipped with multi-million dollar facilities covering hydrogen storage equipment, electrochemistry, inert-atmosphere synthetic chemistry, characterisation, and analysis.
