Are you passionate about advancing sustainable hydrogen production? We offer a challenging PhD position in the Membrane Science and Technology department.
Hydrogen is a recognized crucial component, required for many industrial processes. The sustainable electrochemical production of hydrogen, i.e. green hydrogen, needs to economically compete with the conventional (fossil based) production methods. You will explore the optimization of hydrogen production through alkaline electrolysis in a large consortium of academia and industry. This specific PhD position is focused on the development of diaphragms and separators. These separators need to provide excellent ionic transport, limit gas cross over, and be able to withstand harsh conditions (high pH and temperature) for prolonged times. You will work within the Membrane Science and Technology department of the University of Twente.
As part of the PhD program, you would have the opportunity to receive further education within the Twente Graduate School and within various graduate education programmes in the NL, such as the PTN graduate school. Furthermore, you may actively contribute to the teaching program, e.g. by supervising BSc and MSc assignments or by acting as a teaching assistant in courses taught by department staff.
