The successful candidate will combine classical electrochemical methods with in situ characterisation techniques including spectroscopy, electrochemical scanning probe microscopy and electrochemical mass spectrometry to investigate the structure-property relations of electrocatalyst materials as well as the mechanism of novel electrocatalytic reactions. The reactions of interest include the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide and nitrate reduction into renewable fuels along with the electrochemical C-N coupling to produce value-added chemicals (e.g. sustainable fertilisers and pharmaceuticals). The candidate will develop electrochemical and in situ characterisation methods and setups for the real-time detection of intermediates and products during electrocatalytic reactions.
This PhD will be part of the "Electrochemistry. Science and Technology" interuniversity PhD programme and will be carried out in collaboration with other groups at both ICN2 and foreign research institutions. The candidate will carry out independent research under supervision, write scientific papers for publication in peer-reviewed journals, and disseminate their work in international conferences.
