Chalmers
PhD Student in fabricating efficient electrodes for electrosynthesis
Gothenburg
FULL TIME
October 7, 2024
Project description
The project is part of a multidisciplinary research collaboration where you will collaborate with researchers at Chalmers and with national and international research groups. The tasks of the position include the fabrication and characterization of electrodes based on polymeric semiconductors. These materials are designed to be solution-processible which allows the fabrication of multifunctional, low-cost electrodes on a large scale. You will characterize the fabricated electrodes using state-of-the-art electrochemical techniques and test their performance as single-phase electrodes in electrochemical synthesis. You will work closely with the synthetic subgroup of the Giovannitti groups at Chalmers and will collaborate with national and international research groups to benchmark the performance of the fabricated electrodes. Research visits to national and international research groups and facilities are encouraged and will enable you to learn from experts in the field.
Information about the division and the department
The research mission of the Giovannitti group focuses on the design and synthesis of next-generation polymeric organic semiconductors for electrochemical applications. We develop polymeric semiconductors for electrochemical devices, including bioelectronics, electrocatalysis, and electrochemical synthesis. We have strong expertise in designing tailor-made electrode materials that achieve high performance in electrochemical devices and have a broad knowledge in electrode fabrication. The project is part of a multidisciplinary research collaboration where you will collaborate with researchers at Chalmers and with national and international research groups. You will work closely with the synthetic subgroup of the Giovannitti groups at Chalmers and will collaborate with national and international research groups to benchmark the performance of the fabricated electrodes. Research visits to national and international research groups and facilities are encouraged and will enable you to learn from experts in the field.
Major responsibilities
The Ph.D. student is responsible for the fabrication and characterization of electrodes based on polymeric semiconductors. The Ph.D. student will use state-of-the-art electrochemical characterization methods to evaluate the performance (activity, selectivity, and stability) of the fabricated electrodes. The student will have the opportunity to study the physical properties and structure-property relationships of the fabricated electrodes at advanced characterization at national and international research facilities. In addition, 10 percent of your time will be dedicated to departmental duties with opportunities to develop your teaching skills for undergraduate courses.
