Postdoc - Operando X-ray Characterization of Hydrogen Storage Materials

Would you like to actively shape the structural change in the Rhenish mining area together with us? With us you have the chance to join the newly founded Institute for a Sustainable Hydrogen Economy (INW) with your ideas right from the start. Together with the H2 demonstration region, the INW forms the "Helmholtz Cluster for sustainable and...

At the institute for a Sustainable Hydrogen Economy - Catalytic Interfaces for Chemical Hydrogen Storage (INW-1), Director Hans-Georg Steinrück, we investigate fundamental mechanisms and processes of chemical hydrogen storage at solidliquid interfaces (i.e. catalyst-molecule) using advanced analytic methodologies (including large-scale research facilities)....

Your Job: Design and development of an in-house X-ray beamline for long term operando investigation of chemical hydrogen storage reactors Unravelling of relationships between catalyst structure and morphology with its performance (reactivity, selectivity, efficiency) and degradation under realistic long term deployment conditions Coordination and execution...

**Your Job**: - Fabricate and test area-dependent memristive devices with electron transparent top electrodes (e.g. graphene) for operando spectroscopy - Develop device geometries suitable for operando spectroscopy for selected other device types in close collaboration with other TRR members in Aachen, Jülich or Dresden. - Investigate devices by PEEM...

**Your Job**: The accelerated development of advanced materials is essential for addressing major challenges in energy, mobility, and sustainability. Traditional trial-and-error methods in materials design are often too slow, costly, and inefficient to cope with the increasing complexity of performance and resource-efficiency requirements. This collaborative...

At the Institute of Energy Materials and Devices - Photovoltaics (IMD-3), novel materials as well as innovative device architectures for sustainable photovoltaics are investigated. In this regard, perovskite solar cells are a promising solar cell technology that enables printable, flexible and lightweight solar cells. Further improvements in their...

**Your Job**: This position focuses on the deposition and characterization of 2D materials and layers stacks by metal organic chemical vapor deposition using a commercial MOCVD system from AIXTRON SE. The understanding of the growth processes and the layer interaction is crucial for a successful transfer of a full layer stack from the growth substrate to the...

**Your Job**: - Optimization of growth processes (Pulsed Laser deposition, sputtering) for memristive oxide heterostructures - Characterization of thin films and heterostructures by X-ray diffraction and by in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy at the Electronic Oxide Cluster - Fabrication of nanoscale devices in the cleanroom...

The Ernst Ruska-Centre (ER-C) for microscopy and spectroscopy with electrons is a center of excellence in advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and spectroscopy for addressing topical problems in materials science, solid-state physics and chemistry, biology and soft matter. It comprises three divisions which each have a different focus. At ER-C-1...

Understanding the fundamental physicochemical properties of energy materials is crucial to a sustainable design of our environment. At the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science - Neutron Analytics for Energy Research (JCNS-3), we aim to address the dynamic, structural and electronic properties of energy materials and nanostructured interfaces employing neutron...
