Offer Description
| We offer a three-year PhD position in the framework of the project “Towards Efficient Hydrogen Production with New Hybrid Electrocatalysts (HYDROCAT).” This project will be developed in close collaboration with a theoretical group at University of Barcelona and a group expert in electrocatalysis at the Catalan Institute of Nanonoscience and Nanotechnology. The work will mainly consist on the synthesis of redox-active molecules that can act as redox mediators and the functionalization of electrode surfaces using these compounds. The electrocatalytic performance of the prepared hybrid materials will be investigated. Main Tasks and Responsibilities |

| About the e-MolMat group (https://molecularelectronics.icmab.es/) The “Molecular Materials for Electronic Devices” (e-MolMat) group is focused on the design and synthesis of new functional molecular materials for their application in electronic devices. This is an interdisciplinary group where researchers from different disciplines (i.e., chemistry, materials science, physics, engineering) are working together. Our work ranges from fundamental studies in order to better understand materials properties to a more applied perspective aiming at developing proof-of-principle devices. Particularly, our areas of interest include synthesis of functional molecules (electroactive molecules, organic radicals), surface self-assembly, crystal engineering, molecular switches, organic field-effect transistors (OFETs), charge transport and (bio)-sensors. https://molecularelectronics.icmab.es About ICMAB |
