Aarhus University invites applications for a PhD fellowship within the Nanoscience program, focusing on the research project “Developing Water Splitting Electrodes from Surface Science Insight” under the guidance of Professor Jeppe V. Lauritsen at the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center (iNANO).
Designation:
PhD Fellow within the Nanoscience program
Research Area and Project Description:
The successful candidate will work on investigating the surface chemical composition of doped Ni-based electrodes using near-ambient pressure studies (NAP-XPS) and STM studies. The goal is to enhance electrocatalytic properties for water splitting through a combination of structural properties and chemical doping effects.
Location:
Aarhus University, Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center, Denmark
Eligibility/Qualifications:
- Candidates with a recent master’s degree or 4 years of studies in nanoscience, materials science, chemistry, or physics are qualified.
