This project seeks to fundamentally change how we store and utilize solar energy by developing a class of materials that capture, store, and release solar energy, so-called MOST systems.

In particular, the candidate will be in charge of developing the scalable and green synthesis of molecular systems with unique thermal management function. Hence, the focus of the candidate’s research will be on the organic synthesis, materials processing and their physicochemical characterization.

The Molecular Materials group, has a broad expertise on the design, synthesis and characterization of molecular solar thermal systems (MOST), and recent publications from the group are e.g. Chem. Sci., 2022, 13, 834, Joule 5 (12), 3116-3136 (2021), Accounts of Chemical Research, 2020, 53, 8, 1478–1487, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2020, 142, 28, 12256–12264, Energy and Environmental Science, 2019,12, 187-193, Nature Communications 2018, 9:1945, Energy and Environmental Science 2017, 10, 728-734.

This is a multidisciplinary and transversal project and the candidate will be part of a team formed by several researchers.


Main tasks of the candidate
  • Develop and Operate a Facility for the testing and evaluation of MOST energy systems under
  • Develop an automated setup that monitor and control MOST devices that combine MOST systems with traditional solar thermal systems.
