PhD Position Nano-catalyst exsolution for electrochemical synthesis of renewable fuels

A PhD Position Nano-catalyst exsolution for electrochemical synthesis of renewable fuels is available at the Instituto de Tecnología Química, ITQ, UPV-CSIC in Valencia. They are looking for a creative PhD student with a strong motivation in solving energy-related problems. Candidates should have a Masters in Materials Science, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, or related. The project will be focused on material synthesis, device fabrication and structural characterization (SEM, TEM, XRD, XPS) and device testing in lab-scale electrochemical reactors. Creative and analytical thinking will be required for optimizing the chemical processes, materials, and the reaction set-up, to get more insights about the physicochemical mechanisms involved in this novel and promising technology.
