This project explores methane pyrolysis as a route to produce clean hydrogen, with solid carbon as a valuable co-product. You will work on developing advanced catalysts with high activity and resistance to deactivation, along with designing and operating reactors for high-temperature conversion. The project combines catalyst development, reaction kinetics, and reactor engineering, including studies on carbon formation and process optimization. It offers opportunities to work on both experiments and scale-up strategies for continuous, low-carbon hydrogen production.
