Offer Description

This work focuses on the development and physical/electrochemical characterization of reinforced anion exchange membranes with application in electrochemical energy conversion. In particular, ionic conductivity measurements will be carried out on membranes based on different ionomers and also comprising polymer reinforcements. Membrane-electrode assemblies will also be characterized.

- preparation of nanostructured polymer reinforcement
- preparation of composite anion exchange membranes
- characterization of the materials developed
- integration of the reinforced anion exchange membranes membranes in electrochemical cells, and their characterization

The Institut Charles Gerhardt de Montpellier (ICGM) UMR 5253 is one of the four Institutes of the Balard Chemistry pole. The Department of Materials Chemistry, Nanostructures, Materials for Energy brings together around 70 researchers and lecturer, doctoral students, and post-docs, who develop their research activities on materials and their mechanisms of action for energy by implementing expertise in chemistry and physico-chemistry of materials and interfaces, solid state and materials chemistry. The activity of the recruited person will be carried out within the "Energy Conversion" group, in connection with the group's activities on fuel cell and electrolyzer core materials, and within the framework of the EU project Sustaincell.
