Research

 

Over the past thirty-five years I have built-up an externally funded research programme with a strong equipment base. This has been achieved through a balanced combination of individual and collaborative grants and contracts. The focus of my research is in applying chemical engineering to problems in the area of catalysis, high temperature membranes and dynamic reactions (or chemical looping). While the end goal is often to demonstrate a novel process a fundamental understanding of the problem and its underlying science always is necessary. I have published more than 170 refereed papers, supervised around 60 PhD students.

Much of my research involves working with inorganic membranes. In many cases solid oxide materials can exhibit very high ionic conductivities (e.g., oxygen-ion or proton conductivity). If, at the same time, the electronic conductivity of the material is very low the material can be employed as a solid electrolyte. If the electronic conductivity is high, the material can be used as a mixed-conducting membrane. My research involves the application of both solid electrolytes and mixed-conducting membrane systems for reaction and separation. More recently we have developed the area of dual-ion conduction membrane whereby one ion conducting solid phase hosts a molten salt which also conducts ions of a different nature. This has allowed us for instance to develop highly selective carbon dioxide permeable membranes. We have shown that by linking water permeation to carbon dioxide permeation we can drive carbon dioxide capture from air (direct air capture or DAC) by exploiting a humidity difference (Nature Energy (2024) https://doi.org/10.1038/s41560-024-01588-6).

Chemical looping processes are dynamic processes where on can use, e.g., on oxygen store to facilitate a chemical reaction. In the case of methane combustion with air one would first oxidise the store of oxygen (the oxygen carrier material, OCM) in air producing oxygen-depleted air. One would then expose the OCM to methane, reducing the OCM and producing water and carbon dioxide whilst depleting the store of oxygen. Note that methane has been combusted in air but there is no difficult-to-perform nitrogen and carbon dioxide separation necessary if one wishes to capture the carbon dioxide. We are exploiting chemical looping processes using materials of variable oxygen stoichiometry to overcome equilibrium limitations in the water-gas shift reaction (Nature Chemistry 11 (2019) 638-643) in order to create novel hydrogen production technologies (for blue hydrogen).

Teaching

Undergraduate Teaching

I have been an innovator in chemical engineering education since my appointment in 1987 as a lecturer at Imperial College. Recognition of this came through an Imperial College Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1996.
During my time teaching Chemical Reaction Engineering (Imperial College) and Kinetics and Catalysis (Edinburgh) I gradually modified my approach to include a strong interactive element in the lectures (this course in now delivered in Â鶹´«Ã½ as Reactor Engineering). Generally, each lecture consists of a twenty minute introduction to a concept, followed by an example for the students to try. The examples are simple but designed to test understanding and should be completed by average students within twenty minutes. While the students work on the examples the opportunity is taken to talk with them to find and correct misunderstandings as they occur. Excellent results on teaching evaluation questionnaires have been consistently obtained. The course is complemented with a text book on the subject authored by myself as well as web material summarising what is covered in the lectures.
It is generally accepted to be very difficult to teach programming to students using traditional teaching techniques (e.g. lectures) and, consequently when teaching programming at UMIST, I developed web-based material for the delivery of the ‘IT and Applications’ course. The course included online tests (typically two per week) to monitor student progression through the material. This allowed increased flexibility with the opportunity for students to pace themselves. Chemical engineering problems were introduced into the course once the students knowledge and skill has reached the appropriate level.
