PhD scholarship in proton battery development

This scholarship will support a PhD student working on a topic that will contribute to a proton battery development and prototyping of project funded under a Research Collaboration Agreement with Eldor Corporation. The PhD scholarship is being offered by RMIT University's School of Engineering to contribute to the project 'Technology development and prototyping of the Proton Battery and Proton Flow Reactor Systems'. Previous RMIT research has led to the invention and patenting of the proton battery concept – a reversible hydrogen fuel cell with an integrated porous carbon electrode for storing neutralised protons; and proton flow reactor concepts – a proton battery with a flow-through carbon slurry electrode. The project focuses on design and performance optimisation of components in a proton battery.
