PhD or Research Assistant in the in the field of hydrogen production by photocatalytic water splitting in novel low-cost photoreactor systems (f/m/d)

Area of research:

Scientific / postdoctoral posts

Starting date:

12.04.2024

Job description:

The nature of the work is mainly experimental. However, simulation models shall be developed to assist the optimization of the separation technology. Moreover, for the integrated system process simulations using AspenPlus, AVEVA or Matlab/Simulink shall be developed in order to optimize the operation and to provide data for an assessment of the techno-economic performance of the solar hydrogen production process.

Your Tasks will comprise

• Planning and investigation of the hydrogen separation form a two pase flow containing hydrogen and oxygen
• Processimulation of the hydrogen production through photocatalytic water splitting.
• Optimization of the processdesign and operation conditions
• Techno-economic assessment of the process
• Documentation and communication of the research results

Beside the scientific work, you have the opportunity to do a doctorate.
