The research group ELCAT in the Faculty of Applied Engineering is looking for a full-time (100%) doctoral scholarship student in the field of electrochemical engineering. Position You will work actively on the preparation and defence of a PhD thesis in the field of electrode and reactor engineering within the recently granted path 3 Moonshot project (see also https://www.moonshotflanders.be/en/research/path-3-electrification-radical-process-transformation ) EFFORT – development of GDE-MEA for CO2-electrolysis with low anolyte c The broader scope is developing the technologies that are needed to enable the large deployment of CO2 electrolyzers on the market. In particular, it is ambitioning to achieve high performance devices that are able to operate under an absolute voltage of 2.5 V at 200 mA cm-². More specifically, you will devise strategies for mitigating salt precipitation via innovative GDE and electrolyzer design. The aim is to establish the critica...
