Cross the border and move the limits for green energy
Denmark has a long and proud history with renewable energy and a unique position in green technologies, hydrogen, and e-fuels. That means you will find strong competencies across the entire hydrogen value chain and production of e-fuels here, and you can contribute to the corner of Power-to-X research that makes you tick.
Combine that with world-class researchers and a strong tradition for public-private partnerships, and you have the ideal conditions for doing research that can move boundaries and make a lasting impact on the world.

PhD fellowships in experimental materials chemistry and electrocatalysis
Project 1 will focus on the synthesis/structure/property relations in disordered high entropy oxide materials for with a strong emphasis on structural analysis using x-ray scattering techniques. The project will concern how structural disorder can be controlled in metal oxide synthesis. The candidate will be involved in the development of synthesis methods for oxides with structural disorder and will advance structural characterization of the materials using high-level synchrotron techniques. The candidate will be especially involved in understanding the structural changes taking place during synthesis reactions, and in situ synchrotron experiments will be central for the work. A major part of the PhD project will be data acquisition and high-level analysis. The project will be supervised by Kirsten M. Ø. Jensen. Project 2 concerns the electrocatalytic properties of mixed metal oxides. Mixed-metal oxides represent a promising strategy for the design of economically and environmentally scalable catalysts and supports for water electrolyzers. However, finding optimal materials requires exploration of a vast composition space, the exploration of which requires medium- to high-throughput methods of synthesis, characterization and testing. We are looking for a PhD candidate to develop and apply such methods.

Overall, you will contribute to the development of AI-enhanced autonomous workflows for interface. These implementations will be general and will be applied to core technologies of the department, e.g., batteries and catalysts. The project includes collaboration with experimentalists at DTU, who will verify the computational predictions as well as international collaborations with the University of Pavia (Italy) and Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland.
What makes your engine run?
We don’t have to tell you that excelling in Power-to-X is about optimising the complex interplay between the production and consumption of green energy and the critical infrastructure that connects everything.
But did you know that Denmark is strongly represented in all aspects of Power-to-X? This includes deep expertise in wind energy, innovative electrolyser technologies, an ambitious transport sector, extensive district heating grids, and first-class technology providers.
Whether you focus on the production, consumption, or distribution aspects of Power-to-X, Denmark is the ideal place to pursue your ambitions.
