Beschreibung

Prof. Dr. Mehtap Oezaslan

Technical Electrocatalysis Laboratory
Fuel Cell Testing is your passion

Jo in our Technical Electrocatalysis Team to develop advanced electrocatalysts for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel

cells (PEMFCs) and be involved in high profile research at the forefront of science.

What is the i-V polarization curve of catalyst-coated membranes under PEM fuel cell conditions?

What is needed to improve the performance and long-term durability? How to evaluate, predict and

design new porous catalyst layers for green hydrogen technology?
Your focus will be on the preparation of catalyst-coated membranes and their electrochemical testing in

single cell PEMFC test benches under normal and dynamic operation conditions. Tailoring the structural and

mass transport properties of porous catalyst layers enables the improvement of performance and lifetime

for PEMFC. You will learn and improve your skills and knowledge in the design and diagnostics of advanced

What You Will Do
Preparation of catalyst coated membranes with controlled structural and mass transport properties.

Perform advanced microscopic and spectroscopic tools to characterize the porous electrode layers.

Conduct electrochemical diagnostics on single cell PEMFC test stations.

Analysis of the i-V polarization curves and degradation data.***
What is Required
Successfully completed Master's degree in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Material Sciences,

Physics or related fields.

Desired Experiences
Experience with PEMFC or water electrolysis test stations and/or

Experience with coating technologies and/or

Experience in structure/morphology characterization is an advantage and highly desirable.***
The position is 67 % (E13 TV-L) funded over a duration of three years and can be filled as soon
