PhD scholarships on Single Nanoparticle Catalysis Studied
Announcement date: 28 November 2022 - Deadline for application: 20 December 2022Description
Would you thrilled in an ambitious team addressing the grand challenges in catalysis science? Two PhD positions are now available for experimental research in nanoparticle catalysis at the Center for Visualizing Catalytic Processes (VISION).
VISION strives at developing and applying a new innovative platform for visualizing catalytic nanoparticles and reactions at the atomic-level by combining cutting-edge electron microscopy, micro-electro-mechanical-systems, nanoparticle synthesis and modelling.
The interdisciplinary approach aims at relating the atomic-scale structure, dynamics and functions of single nanoparticles in thermal catalysis and electrocatalysis with the perspective of developing new and more efficient catalysts needed to tackle the environmental challenge of our time.Requirements
- Preparation of micro-electro-mechanical-system reactors with single or few nanoparticles for thermal catalysis of chemical reactions.
- Operando studies of nanoparticle catalysis using atomic-resolution transmission electron microscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy.
- Relating the three-dimensional atomic-resolution structure and catalytic functions of single nanoparticles as well of ensembles with varying number of nanoparticles.
- Advancing the understanding of corporative interactions in nanoparticle catalysis, including ensemble-averaging, hysteresis, oscillatory behavior and support dependencies.
- Preparation of micro-electro-mechanical-system reactors to study electrochemical phase transition phenomena in catalysis.
- Operando studies of nanoparticles during electrocatalysis using atomic-resolution transmission electron microscopy techniques.
- Relating the atomic-resolution structural dynamics and dynamical functions in nanoparticle electrocatalysis.
- Establish fundamental understanding of atomic mechanisms to develop strategies for stabilizing desirable phases and surface motifs of electrocatalysis.
