PhD Researcher in Polymer Science and Electrochemistry
4 weeks ago
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team at DTU Energy. The successful candidate will work on a project focused on understanding water transport and degradation pathways in membranes tailored for sustainable electrochemical energy conversion.
The project involves the exploration of anion-exchange membranes' morphologies, water transport within the polymer membrane, and degradation pathways when used in electrochemical flow reactors for CO2 conversion applications. The objectives include understanding swelling behavior and its effect on membrane morphology, development of a pH-sensing technique using fluorescence microscopy studies, methodology development, and evaluation of obtained results.
The successful candidate will have a strong background in polymer science, material science, or electroanalytical chemistry. They will work in an international and multi-disciplinary team, collaborating with researchers across the department and worldwide to tackle challenging aspects of polymer electrolyte-based CO2 reduction.
The research is relevant for sustainable energy technologies involving applications of functional membranes, such as fuel cells, electrolysers, flow batteries, and other electrochemical energy conversion devices.
Responsibilities and Qualifications
- Preparation and basic characterization of ion-exchange membranes
- In-depth study of swelling behavior in various electrolytes using in-operando SAXS technique and traditional methodologies
- Selection/preparation/optimization of pH-sensitive fluorescent probes and strategies for further incorporation into the polymer system
- Development of assessment strategies for local pH changes in CO2 reduction reactors
- Establishment of lab-scale setups for concept proof and technical evaluation
Qualifications
- A two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree, preferably in chemistry, polymer chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, or similar fields
- Innovative skills and ability to work in an international and multi-disciplinary team
- Knowledge or research experience in material science or electrochemical energy conversion
- Preferably practical experience with polymer materials or membranes research
- Basic knowledge of Python is desired
