Postdoc Temperature Effects in Carbon Dioxide Electrolysis

3 maanden geleden


Delft, Zuid-Holland, Nederland Delft University of Technology Voltijd

What are the effects of temperature on the performance and stability of a carbon dioxide electrolyzer?
Job description

A major contributor to climate change are carbon dioxide emissions. To reduce emissions and thus combat climate change, it is imperative that carbon-free sources of energy, such as wind and solar energy are utilized. The intermittent nature of both solar and wind energy is typically not well matched with electricity demand. Consequently, both short- and long term energy storage is necessary on an immense scale. Through carbon dioxide electrolysis, renewable energy can be stored in the form of stable chemical bonds. When combined with carbon dioxide capture, electrolysis that converts CO2 to liquid fuels can form a carbon neutral energy cycle.

This postdoc position is in the research group of Dr. Ruud Kortlever at the Process & Energy department of the Mechanical Engineering faculty. The position will benefit from the existing expertise of the group on electrocatalytic conversions and the established state-of-the-art electrochemical lab which is comprised of many product analysis and material characterization techniques. The position is funded via a Dutch Open Technology project (e-Heat), where we will collaborate with multiple groups at TU Delft and industrial. Since carbon dioxide electrolysis is not nearly as well investigated let alone developed as water electrolysis, little is known about heat generation and its effects. Estimates indicate that approximately 50% of the energy input in carbon dioxide electrolyzers is transformed into heat. When heat transfer aspects are unaccounted for in the design of large-scale

electrolysers, such generation is expected to lead to large thermal gradients impacting efficiency, selectivity and stability. Within this project we specifically aim to to determine the effect of temperature on the electrocatalytic performance as well as material stability. Additionally, we will aim to devise temperature dependency mitigation strategies.You will work together with a diverse team of scientist interested in these topics, and will also be part of the e-Refinery institute that focusses on electrochemical conversion technologies. Given the rapid development and large interest in the technology, we expect you to publish in scientific literature and present the technology to the general public, hence good communication skills in addition to scientific and engineering talent is required.

RequirementsA PhD degree in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, material science, physical chemistry or similar.
Hands on experimental experience with electrochemistry.
Experience with material characterization techniques.
Good teamplayer with a collaborative mind-set.
Pro-active and creative mind-set.
Fluent in English, good written and oral presentation skills.
Starting as soon as possible.

Conditions of employment
Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities. The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.

Faculty Mechanical Engineering
From chip to ship. From machine to human being. From idea to solution. Driven by a deep-rooted desire to understand our environment and discover its underlying mechanisms, research and education at the ME faculty focusses on fundamental understanding, design, production including application and product improvement, materials, processes and (mechanical) systems.
ME is a dynamic and innovative faculty with high-tech lab facilities and international reach. It's a large faculty but also versatile, so we can often make unique connections by combining different disciplines. This is reflected in ME's outstanding, state-of-the-art education, which trains students to become responsible and socially engaged engineers and scientists. We translate our knowledge and insights into solutions to societal issues, contributing to a sustainable society and to the development of prosperity and well-being. That is what unites us in pioneering research, inspiring education and (inter)national cooperation.
