equilibrium reactions such as Sabatier and reverse water-gas shift. The purpose of this research is to use modelling and experiments to synthesise water superadsorbent materials with high capacity (>0.5 g/g) able to selectively separate it from mixtures of inorganic gases (CO2, N2, O2, CO).
In addition to undertaking cutting edge research, students are also registered for the Postgraduate Certificate in Researcher Development (PGCert), which is a supplementary qualification that develops a student’s skills, networks and career prospects.
