Working field:
Reactions using carbon dioxide or polymer waste as raw material (hydrogenations), smart dehydrogenation reactions (to olefins and hydrogen) or ammonia reforming as supply of green hydrogen will be of high importance in near future. Novel, for this purpose prepared catalysts (single-atom catalysts, nanoalloys, single-atom alloys) need to be characterized using dedicated in situ methods (e.g. FTIR coupled to profile reactors, thermogravimtery). Additionally, ex situ characterization via standard methods (e.g. nitrogen physisorption, XRD) and advanced methods (electron microscopy, XPS) is needed. Combining all results from complimentary methods will finally give access to identification of the active state of catalysts and the formed reaction intermediates. Partaking in teaching is expected.
Requirements:
Successfully completed university degree (Master, Diplom or equivalent) in chemistry with above-average success is mandatory. Necessary is an in-depth understanding of heterogeneous catalysis and expertise in the area of instrumental analysis. Practical experience in catalyst (in situ) characterization is expected. Practical experience in catalyst synthesis or testing is an advantage. Fluency in German and English is considered as a plus.
