Beschreibung

The Chair of Atomic-Scale Characterization of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering is looking for a

research associate and PhD student (m,f,x) for 3 years with 39,83 hours per week (TV-L E13):
he research focus of the atomic-scale characterization chair, led by Prof. Dr.
Ing.

Tong Li, is the synthesis and characterization of oxide and metallic nanomaterials used for sustainable energy conversions such as water splitting and fuel cells.

We use atomic probe tomography (APT) in combination with electron microscopy and X-ray based spectroscopy to study the surface changes of (electro)catalysts during catalytic reactions and thereby gain mechanistic insight into the activation and deactivation of (electro)catalysts.

- as soon as possible
Your tasks:
***- develop a correlative approach that can link the oxidation state, surface morphology and chemical compositions of Co-based spinels and hydrous oxides with their local activity toward oxygen evolution reaction,

***:
- responsible for the SEM, APT and XPS characterization,
- cooperate closely with another PhD student working on SECCM and AFM analysis,

***
Your profile:

an excellent master's degree in electrochemistry, materials science, or inorganic chemistry,

- can independently conduct potentiostat measurements, including cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, chronopotentiometry, chronoamperometry etc.,
- a high level of spoken and written English,
- self-motivated and eager to learn,
- proven ability to plan, organize and achieve work targets, sometimes in demanding circumstances,
- can work both, independently and as part of an interdisciplinary team.
