Scholarship Description:
PhD on Electrochemical Coupling of CO2 and Nitrates
The PhD student will explore the electrochemical coupling of CO2 and nitrates to synthesize organonitrogen compounds. The research involves using in situ and operando spectroscopic techniques to study reaction mechanisms and intermediate products. The project aims to contribute to the development of more active catalysts for green fertilizer synthesis under industrially relevant conditions.
Eligibility:
- Master’s degree (or equivalent) in chemistry or chemical engineering.
- Experience in electrochemistry and/or in situ spectroscopy is advantageous.
- Research-oriented attitude and the ability to work in an interdisciplinary team.
- Fluent in spoken and written English (C1 level).
Required Documents:
- Cover letter describing motivation and qualifications for the position.
- Curriculum vitae, including a list of publications.
- Contact information for three references.
