PhD Student (f/m/d) of Postdoc (f/m/d) for the “Electrochemical CO2-Reduction to Fuels and Chemicals”

Contribute to the energy transition of our society via enabling new power-to-chemicals/fuels processes. You will join a team that investigates new electrolysis processes for synthesizing valuable fuels and chemicals from the waste product CO₂ and renewable energy. Your research will focus on enabling an efficient electrolysis process including electrode and cell design as well as their optimization. Your work will be interdisciplinary, with experimental analysis and modeling on cell (component) level and product analysis. Based on your research findings, you will derive essential and technically relevant insights into the processes and limitations and evaluate pathways to improve performance and selectivity.

Persönliche Qualifikation
