Master Thesis »electrode Structuring for Zero-gap

vor 4 Monaten

Oberhausen, Deutschland Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Vollzeit

As one of 76 institutes of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft we show how to not only master crises, but grow from them. Pushing boundaries. Always trying something new. Not just thinking, but thinking ahead. We turn research into the future.

We want an earth that is worth living on. With our research in the divisions of climate-neutral energy systems, resource-efficient processes and circular products, we make concrete contributions to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Our employees conduct research in the fields of energy, environment, safety, health, communication and mobility.

For the green energy economy and (chemical) industry of the future, electrosynthetic processes are indispensable. In our "Electrocatalysis" group, we research catalysts, cell concepts and electrolysis conditions in order to optimize them for industrial scale. For water electrolysis, precious metal-free catalysts are established for the cathode of a zero-gap cell. In this master thesis, the electrode environment for a given catalyst system will be optimized.

**What you will do**
- Production of electrode units via spray processes
- Testing and electrochemical characterization of electrodes in a zero-gap electrolyzer
- Characterization of catalysts and electrodes by XRD, SEM-EDX, EIS, XRF, ICP-OES, etc.
- internal presentation and discussion of results

**What you bring to the table**
- Studies in chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science or similar courses of study.
- good knowledge in the field of electrochemistry, synthesis and characterization of solids is desirable
- independent and structured work

**What you can expect**
- As part of a dynamic team, you actively drive sustainable solutions for a resource-efficient future
- Opportunity to combine your knowledge from your studies with practical experience at the interface between business and science and to integrate your own ideas
- New Work, diversity and cooperative interaction are important components of our strategic orientation
- Flexible working hours - we know that your studies come first
- Flexible work locations that fit your studies - mobile work and on-site work are combined as needed
- Intense support for the preparation of your final thesis
- Health and mindfulness programs for good balance
- You can find even more attractive benefits here: Fraunhofer UMSICHT as employer

With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process. As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, Fraunhofer helps shape society now and in the future.
