Postdoc in the Development and Production of Electrocatalysts for Anion Exchange Membrane Electrolys...
Do you crave developing high performing electrocatalysts for anion exchange membrane electrolysis (AEMEL), to accelerate the large scale implementation of green hydrogen? Do you enjoy working in an international dynamic setting and wish to participate in a collaborative effort to build a 100 kW AEM electrolyzer within the EU project HyPrAEM? This Postdoc position could be for you. Hydrogen has emerged as a clean, flexible energy carrier for use as industrial feedstock, in generating power and heat, and in transportation. Currently, most hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels, specifically natural gas. A more sustainable approach for the production of hydrogen relies on the deployment of electrolysis technologies, due to their high efficiency and low environmental footprint.

Postdoc in Experimental Electrocatalysis: In-situ Spectroscopic Studies of 3D Active Sites to Break ...
If you're aspiring to build a career as a scientist in experimental electrocatalysis and are looking for opportunities to pursue your dreams and ambitions, here is a perfect opportunity for you. Electrocatalysts are essential materials for producing green fuels and chemicals. Conventional electrocatalysts with two-dimensional active sites, however, have a fundamentally limited efficiency for facilitating complex reactions that involve three or more reaction intermediates, due to the "scaling relations". In CAT3D, a five-year Villum Young Investigator project that fully funds this postdoc position, along with an additional postdoc and one PhD position, we will tackle this grand challenge by fabricating and studying electrocatalysts with three-dimensional active site structures. With concerted and concentrated research efforts, we aim to pave the way for developing the next-generation electrocatalysts for a broad range of green technologies.

PhD scholarship in development of advanced testing methods for solid oxide cells degradation diagnos...
The Department of Energy Conversion and Storage, Technical University of Denmark (DTU), invites applications for a PhD scholarship in the development of advanced test methods to improve understanding of the degradation processes that dictate the operation lifetime of solid oxide cells (SOC). Transforming our society to rely only on sustainable energy sources is a formidable engineering challenge. Key to success will be the development of cost competitive and reliable methods to produce hydrogen via electrolysis of water/steam driven by green electricity. Hydrogen can be used as a fuel in itself or serve as a reactant for the production of fuels like methanol, kerosene or even ammonia. Large scale and fast deployment of electrolysers is highly needed for the displacement of conventional fossil fuels. Solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) is one of several different electrolysis technologies, which holds merit in terms of high efficiency and potential to reach low cost. For SOEC to be cost competitive with other technologies, long lifetime of >5 years operation under high current density is desired.
