Offer Description

The successful candidate will be employed on our project entitled “Cuprous Single Sites in Metal-Organic Frameworks for Fuel Synthesis by Electrocatalytic CO2 Reduction”, a project that addresses the knowledge gap of designed-for-purpose single-site electrocatalysts for CO2 upcycling to fuels.

The candidate will be involved in delivering a new platform for developing advanced materials as efficient electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction by synergistically combining synthesis, theoretical modelling, state-of-the-art characterisation, and performance-analysis. In particular, they will design, synthesise, characterise, and test metal-organic frameworks with cuprous redox centres and establish structure-performance correlations for catalyst optimisation.

We are looking for an excellent candidate with demonstrated lab experience. The candidate will perform the synthesis of functional metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) built up of well-determined cuprous moieties, and carry out extensive characterisation of these materials using X-ray diffraction and absorption, nuclear magnetic resonance and vibrational spectroscopy, etc.

The candidate will also carry out electrochemical measurements and evaluate the results to gain insight into and develop models of the redox activity and electrocatalytic performance of the so-obtained MOFs.
