Context
Ethylene is a foundational chemical feedstock predominantly produced from fossil resources, driving significant CO2 emissions. Electrochemical routes that convert captured carbon to ethylene offer a pathway to decarbonize the supply chain. Performing electrolysis directly from carbon capture solutions can reduce the energy and capital costs associated with gas-phase CO2 handling. Advances in membrane chemistry, catalyst design, and process integration are critical to making this route scalable and cost-competitive.
Your Task:Your tasks include developing the first demonstrator of an electrochemical ethylene-production system by integrating a reactor, electrodes, and bipolar membranes. You will lead the reactor and electrode design to optimize stable, selective, and energy-efficient operation. Additionally, you will implement and characterize bipolar membranes from project partners. The project is carried out in close collaboration with a start-up company, offering strong industry integration and practical relevance.
Your tasks include to plan and execute systematic experiments, perform electrochemical and materials characterization, and use data analysis and simple modeling to guide design choices. Further, you will prepare manuscripts and presentations for group meetings and conferences.
Your profileVery good Master's degree in Chemistry, Materials Science, or engineering, or similar
Profound knowledge in electrochemical methods
Excellent communication skills and team spirit are absolutely necessary
You are interested in the development of novel systems for a sustainable society
You work target-oriented and structured
You enjoy working in the lab
We offer excellent working conditions in the interdisciplinary "electrochemical energy systems" EES group with a motivated, nice, and respectful working atmosphere
