Kongens Lyngby, Lyngby-Tårbæk Kommune, Denmark DTU - Technical University of Denmark Full time

DTU - Technical University of Denmark offers a unique opportunity to pursue a PhD in Sustainable Technologies, focusing on Carbon Capture and Utilization. This challenging project aims to pioneer a CO2 capture and electrolysis process that reduces overall energy consumption.

You will play a crucial role in designing and synthesizing innovative materials for direct CO2 capture and conversion, exploring pathways for direct capturing and utilizing CO2, transforming it into valuable products such as methanol, ethanol, and other C2+ compounds.

This research has significant implications for addressing growing environmental concerns and the urgent need for decarbonization across all sectors of the economy. Direct Air Capture (DAC) has emerged as a crucial carbon-negative technology capable of removing CO2 directly from the atmosphere, thereby helping to reduce its concentration.

As a researcher in this project, you will work closely with our experienced team to develop new materials with integrated carbon capture and utilization capabilities, utilizing H-cell, flow cell, and membrane electrode assembly (MEA) cell systems. You will optimize the physicochemical properties of these materials, enhancing their stability and performance for CCU applications.

A deep understanding of each step within the reaction sequence is crucial for developing efficient CCU technologies that can be successfully scaled up. We will conduct comprehensive in-situ and ex-situ spectroscopic studies to investigate the underlying mechanisms governing the CCU processes.
