PhD positions
4 months ago
While direct electrification is normally the most effective way to achieve a sustainable society, there are certain areas that cannot be electrified such as aviation and long-distance shipping. For these sectors we need the high energy density that comes with carbon-based molecules. While we have developed CO2 electrolysis to make 1, 2 and even 3 carbon chain species, we need to have carbon chains on the order of 8-15 to be equivalent to current jet fuels.
We do have processes to make large chain carbons currently with CO2 and H2 via the Fischer-Tropsch process, though this process needs to operate at high temperatures and pressures while producing a wide distribution of carbon chain lengths, many of which have minimal societal usage. The end result is in an inefficient overall process. However, an interesting difference between CO2 electrolysis and Fischer-Tropsch is that they have completely different mechanisms in creating a carbon-carbon bond. Traditionally CO2 electrolysis has always operated either near room temperature (25 C) or at ultra-high temperatures C) is solid oxide electrolyzers, however Fischer-Tropsch operates at C and this has not really been investigated.
This project will look to operate CO2 electrolysis at elevated temperatures and pressures approaching the Fischer-Tropsch regime to see how the catalysts behave in these conditions. We will focus on studying this both in aqueous solutions and non-aqueous solutions as each behaves substantially different. Because of this we have two open PhD positions: one for aqueous and non-aqueous CO2 reduction.
In investigating this topic, the PhD candidate's main tool would be electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and potentially impedance measurements. All electrochemical devices are linked in-operando to either a gas chromatograph of mass spectrometer that the candidate will learn to operate and control. HPLC will typically be used for liquid products, but potentially NMR may also be used. Catalysts will typically produced via physical vapor deposition techniques (sputtering, CVD, or ALD) or via wet chemical techniques. The catalysts morphology and electronic structure will be characterized via tools such as XPS, ISS, SEM, TEM, STM, and XRD. Surface enhanced FTIR may also be used if we feel this can give substantial insight into understanding the science.
The PhD project will be part of the CAPeX center
for accelerating catalyst development. As part of this center there will be computational chemists and nanoparticle synthesis experts that you can collaborate with on the overall goal of CO2 to long chain hydrocarbons. Furthermore, the center also includes general experts on catalyst characterization, artificial intelligence, robotics, power electronics and other areas, thus this should provide a substantial support to help the project. Furthermore, there are international collaborators integrated into this project allowing for seamless external stays.
The project will take place in the Surface Science and Catalysis (SurfCat) at DTU Physics but may collaborate with both partners within DTU and externally. A senior researcher from Topsoe Catalyst will also give oversight on the project.
Qualifications
It is essential that the successful candidate is highly ambitious as well as open minded. The candidate must both be able to be a self-starter and work independently as well as work together as part of a team when relevant. The candidate should have a master's degree (120 ECTS points) in physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Material Science or a similar field or will expect to have that degree before the beginning of this position. The candidate should have extensive experimental experience working with heterogeneous catalytic reactions (thermal catalysis, electrocatalysis, or photocatalysis).
Approval and Enrolment
For those with master's degrees applying for a PhD, the scholarship for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU, for example in Mathematics, Physics and Informatics. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see DTU's rules for the PhD education
