PhD position in Applied Electrochemistry
Organization: KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Location: Stockholm, Sweden
Field: Electrochemistry
Requirements:
A suitable background for this position is a Master of Science in chemical engineering, materials chemistry, applied physics or equivalent. Of merit, but not a requirement, is knowledge in electrochemistry on an advanced level. Candidates must be strongly motivated for doctoral studies, possess good levels of cooperative and communicative skills to be able to interact with researchers in the same and related fields as well as have the ability to work independently and to perform critical analysis.
Abstract:
KTH School of Chemical Science and Engineering seeks a PhD student in Applied Electrochemistry at the Department of Chemical Engineering and Technology.
Description:
In electrolytic processes electricity is converted to chemical energy in electrode reactions. Energy losses associated with these reactions are large, but can be significantly reduced by proper choice of advanced electrocatalysts. This project aims at increasing the fundamental understanding about relations between structure, composition and electrocatalytic properties of transition metal oxides, primarily of ruthenium and titanium. Findings will be used in the development of new high tech electrodes for industrial applications.
The project will be conducted in close collaboration with Permascand,
one of the major producers of catalytic industrial electrodes in the world. Permascand has its head office, R&D department and major production facilities in Ljungaverk in Sweden.
