Trainee in electrocatalysts preparation and characterization

Your work will focus on the preparation of electrocatalysts and conducting electrochemical characterization measurements. During your internship, you will perform CO2 reduction experiments using an electrochemical setup coupled with a gas-chromatography analyzer. You will perform a detailed analysis of the role of ionomer in the preparation of electrocatalysts and investigate its influence on the CO2 reduction activity and selectivity. Throughout your internship, you will interact extensively with colleagues both within the group and the whole electrochemistry laboratory.

Enrolled Master or Bachelor student in physics, materials science, electrical or mechanical engineering, chemistry or a closely related discipline, preferably with experience in electrochemistry. You have an active interest in combined experimental, and data analysis and take the initiative for new solutions; being able to work independently in a collaborative and interdisciplinary research team. Good communication and writing skills in English are required. You will be registered as an intern under the supervision of Dr Javier Quilez-Bermejo.

Our institution is based on an interdisciplinary, innovative and dynamic collaboration.
