Phd On Novel Bipolar Membranes By Electrospinning
3 maanden geleden
**Job description**:
In water technology, the demand for bipolar membranes is steadily rising. Bipolar membranes split water into protons and hydroxyl ions allowing the industrial on-site production of e.g. acid and base. At Wetsus we are developing many novel processes requiring bipolar membranes: e.g., producing on-site acid and base from desalination brines, concentrating gases from waste streams (like recovering of ammonia and capturing of carbon dioxide), storing energy in water-based acid-base flow batteries, and producing hydrogen directly from seawater. In the transition towards a circular sustainable economy, these processes are of utmost importance and play a pivotal role.
**Research challenges**
A bipolar membrane consists of an anion and a cation exchange layer put together with catalyst particles at the interface. Research in bipolar membrane development thus encounters several challenges and research gaps. These include optimal structuring of the 3D junction at the interface of the two layers and its integration with the catalyst, identifying suitable water dissociation catalysts and refining the chemistry of both the anion and cation exchange layers. Moreover, production rates of electrospinning need to be increased. Additionally, optimizing hot-pressing conditions and layer thickness are critical.
