Phd Position Aem Water Electrolysis

3 dagen geleden

Delft, Nederland TU Delft Voltijd

**PhD Position AEM Water Electrolysis**:
**_How to develop technologies for affordable green hydrogen?_**

**Job description**:
Green hydrogen, produced via water electrolysis using renewable electricity, is one of the cleanest fuels and chemicals. The ambitions for producing green hydrogen are huge; EU wants to use 20 million tonnes of green hydrogen in 2030, which is over 100x more than the current worldwide installation capacity. To achieve this rapid growth, we need to make the electrolyzer technology robust and energy-efficient. Within the HyPRO project, part of the GroenvermogenNL growth fund, we are working jointly with academia and industry to accelerate the improvements in electrolyzer technology and valorize the knowledge on electrolysis phenomena in technology.

This vacancy will focus on Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis (AEM WE). While AEM WE is less mature than other electrolysis technologies, it potentially combines the advantages of earth-abundant electrode materials (due to working at alkaline environment) and allowing to dynamically operate (due to the low crossover in the dense membrane). However, more understanding is needed for its stability and energy efficiency. In this project, we will focus on enhancing the contact between the electrode materials and anion exchange membrane, to minimize energy losses and create a robust reaction environment. You will explore the use of different ionomer structures and ionomer integrations, and develop design strategies to enhance the stability and efficiency of the AEM WE cell. You will make use of in-operando measurement techniques to map the water management and local concentrations, to better understand the reaction environment and local mass transport.

This PhD position offers:

- Challenging job in a highly innovative technology field
- Embedding in an enthusiastic team of engineers and researchers
- A funded PhD position for 4 years

**Requirements**:

- A MSc degree, in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, process technology, chemistry, material engineering, applied physics or similar.
- An excellent track record in terms of grades and university background
- Experience with performing experimental work
- Experience in working with electrochemical systems is considered a plus
- Experience in working with polymers is considered a plus
- Pro-active and creative mind-set
- Fluent in English. Speaking Dutch is a plusStarting date to be determined later, expected between Jan 2025 and May 2025TU Delft creates equal opportunities and encourages women to apply.
