At
the Institute for Solar Fuels, we develop new materials and devices for
photoelectro-chemical water splitting. We are looking for candidates to
strengthen a new project on manganese- and cobalt-oxide catalysts for
enhancing the water oxidation kinetics at photoanode surfaces
Tasks
- Exploration of anion doping as a strategy to tune the energy levels in the band structure of complex semiconducting metal oxide photoanodes
- Investigation of the coupling between metal oxide semiconductors and earth-abundant MnxCoOy electrocatalysts by advanced (photo)electrochemical methods
- Develop new strategies to optimize the coupling between these catalysts and light absorbing metal oxide photoelectrodes
Requirements
- Completed master’s degree in chemistry, physical chemistry or materials science
- Good knowledge on chemical growth processes and in solid state chemistry
- Familiarity with thin film characterization techniques and electrochemistry
- Strong motivation in research
- Good verbal and written communication skills in English
What we offer
Fixed term contract for 36 months. The employment contract is based on contracts for the German civil service (TVöD-Bund).
We particularly welcome applications from women. Preference will be given to handicapped applicants provided equal suitability.
