PhD Thesis Student (f/ m) on ID31 in Structure of Materials group
Context & Job description
Subject: Holistic evaluation of Oxygen Reduction Reaction and Oxygen Evolution Reaction state-of-the-art materials in high performance electrochemical devices
You will join an international team of scientists from academia and industry, working together to solve one of the biggest challenge of our times: smooth transition from fossil fuels to a more sustainable energy scheme.
We are seeking a candidate to join a PhD programme to develop new generation of materials used as catalysts in hydrogen fuel cells and water electrolyzers.
The aim of the PhD project is to systematically investigate the transient stability of state-of-the-art catalyst materials, which are now being evaluated for commercial use, using high energy X-rays on ID31. We want to better understand the underlying principles leading to catalyst degradation, to determine the future R&D directions for hydrogen production and fuel cell technologies. The project is a joint collaboration between ESRF (most advanced high energy X-ray source), Johnson Matthey (a global leader in sustainable technologies) and Technische Universität Berlin (group of Prof. Strasser).
