DIFFER

The Dutch Institute for Fundamental Energy Research (DIFFER) performs leading fundamental research on materials, processes, and systems for a global sustainable energy infrastructure. We work in close partnership with (inter)national academia and industry. Our user facilities are open to industry and university researchers. As an institute of the Dutch Research Council (NWO) DIFFER plays a key role in fundamental research for the energy transition.

We use a multidisciplinary approach applicable on two key areas, solar fuels for the conversion and storage of renewable energy and nuclear fusion - as a clean source of energy.

DIFFER IS LOOKING FOR A

Postdoc who wants to work in the group of Catalytic and Electrochemical Processes for Energy Applications in the area of proton ceramic electrolysis cells and solid oxide electrolysis cells.

Scientific aim:
The development of green hydrogen as a key enabler of the energy transition is driven by ambitious goals and targets set by the European Commission, among others, as part of the Green Deal and the Repower Europe strategy. Achieving these targets is expected to drive down costs, resulting in positive business cases. Based on these targets, the market for electrolysis plants in Europe alone will be a multi-billion euro market, making it attractive for the European manufacturing industry to invest heavily in the technology.

This Postdoc position will focus on the degradation mechanisms of PCEC and SOEC electrodes (with special focus on chromium poisoning) via advanced characterization.

POSITION AND REQUIREMENTS

The research tasks are highly interdisciplinary and will perfectly align with emerging research lines and granted projects at DIFFER.
- Assembling, characterization and evaluation of PCEC and SOEC cells
- Implementation of interconnects with different protective coatings
- Physicostructural material characterization (XRD, XPS, SEM, IBA)
- Gas phase analysis of reaction products (GC, MS, FTIR)
- Preparation of scientific papers and conference communications.
- Supervision of bachelor and master students.
- Contribution to the scientific & collaborative research environment at DIFFER.

Qualifications:

- Education as chemist, chemical engineer, materials scientist or similar in BSc and MSc level and electrochemistry or electrocatalysis at PhD level
- Practical experience in the areas of proton ceramic and/or solid oxide fuel cells or electrolysers
- Strong communication skills and attitude to participate successfully in multidisciplinary projects
- Ability to work well individually and as a team member
- Good communication skills in English (both written and spoken)
