Higher alcohols are valuable intermediates that can serve as bio-based fuels, fuel additives, and chemical building blocks. Their synthesis from renewable feed stocks such as methanol, ethanol contributes to sustainable energy solutions and the production of green chemicals, reducing dependence on fossil resources. Master’s Thesis conducted at the Institute of Energy and Climate Research, Electrochemical Process Engineering (IET-4).
**Your Job**:
- Literature research and process understanding of higher alcohol synthesis
- Catalyst preparation, characterization, and performance testing
- Reaction parameter optimization (temperature, pressure, feed composition, etc.)
- Product analysis (GC, MS, etc.) and interpretation of results
- Data analysis and reporting of results
Thesis writing and presentation of findings
