PhD Scholarship in Experimental Electrocatalysis: Synthesis of 3D Active Site Structures to Break Sc...
If you are you passionate about getting to the core of a scientific problem and coming up with creative solutions, and if you are you passionate about experimental electrocatalysis and its role in building green technologies, here is a perfect PhD project 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 PhD position, along with two postdoc positions, we will tackle this grand challenge by fabricating and studying electrocatalysts with three-dimensional active site structures. With the concerted and concentrated research efforts, we aim to pave the way for developing the next generation electrocatalysts for a broad range of green technologies.
