Master Thesis: Investigation of Flow-Through Cell in Electrochemical Dehydrogenation of Isopropanol
Location: Nürnberg
Start: January/February 2025
Details
You will have the opportunity to work as a HiWi for three months, gaining hands-on experience in electrochemistry and becoming familiar with the field. After this period, you will begin working as a Master's student.
Your Tasks
As a Master’s student, you will focus on designing, testing, and optimizing the Membrane-Electrode Assembly (MEA) structure for a flow-through isopropanol electrolysis cell:
- Design and Development: Create and refine a prototype MEA structure with various type of materials
- Testing and Optimization: Once the MEA is ready, assess its performance through electrochemical testing methods and evaluate the results. Based on findings, further optimization of the MEA may be required.
- Collaboration and Discussion: Engage in frequent discussions and brainstorming sessions to navigate challenges. Strong communication skills and receptiveness to feedback will be essential for success.
Your Profile
- Eagerness to take on hands-on problem-solving and challenges.
- Willingness to learn and collaborate.
- Basic knowledge of electrochemistry is preferred but not essential.
- Background in Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Chemical Engineering, or a related field, with an openness to interdisciplinary learning.
- Proficiency in English, both written and spoken.
- Creative approach and persistence in developing new solutions.
