Congratulations to Dr Greg Mutch for receiving the Carbon Capture Future Leader Award @ElsevierConnect @IChemE @CCSTJournal. It recognises the many successes of our team over recent years.

[Materials, Concepts and Reaction Engineering Group @MatCoRE_NCL]

Last week, Ian, Deblina, and Harry attended the @UKCatalysisHub Summer Conference and presented their research on catalysis for a low-carbon future.

Third time is the charm!
Our final year PhD student, Dan Telford, could finally do his final experiments with neutron diffraction at @isisneutronmuon, where he used the reactor he designed and built!

Thanks to all the members of team involved for the effort!!

[Materials, Concepts and Reaction Engineering Group @MatCoRE_NCL]

Dan's work with @isisneutronmuon and @DurhamChemistry has been published recently in two papers: one in @ChemMater focusing on understanding the structure of the oxygen carrier material https://t.co/cDaf5eeTrE

[Materials, Concepts and Reaction Engineering Group @MatCoRE_NCL]

We have a PhD studentship available! Working with @NewcastlePIG, @MatCoRE_NCL, and @CrodaPlc! Full details below:

Can we boost CO2 capture performance on hybrid molten salt-ceramic membranes even further? Studies to date focus on the molten phase alone. Find out how careful engineering of grain boundary interfaces in the ceramic phase can add a new level of functionality in our new article!

[Materials, Concepts and Reaction Engineering Group @MatCoRE_NCL]

🚨 New paper alert 🚨

Published at the end of last week in @SepPurifTech, molten-carbonate membranes for #CO2 capture with freeze-cast ceramic supports!

With gratitude to collaborators @ITQ_UPVCSIC and funders @EPSRC, @ERC_Research, and @RAEngNews.

The article identifies ideal material thermodynamics for the reaction, and puts a new spin on heat and mass transfer analogy. The paper is freely available from the publisher. https://t.co/TEA7bPxdFb
