Postdoc position for Developing new and Stable Iridium based Electrocatalysts for Water Splitting...

Technical University of Denmark (DTU)

  • Copenhagen, Hovedstaden, Denmark
  • Professor Ib Chorkendorff

In a broad EU-collaboration, partly funded by Innovation Fund Denmark, on Advanced Membranes for Porous transport Layers and Electrodes (AMPLE), we are aiming at developing viable Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolysers for water splitting producing hydrogen. Current technology works but relies on the scarce and expensive Iridium and a goal it therefore to further develop the technology making savings on the Ir-loading and at the same time enhance it stability towards corrosion. We have a successful record of investigating new and stable Iridium-based nanoparticles for the oxygen evolutio

Postdoc in micromagnetic modeling of new rare-earth-free permanent magnet

Technical University of Denmark (DTU)

  • Copenhagen, Hovedstaden, Denmark

At the Technical University of Denmark, Department of Energy Conversion and Storage (DTU Energy) we are looking for a postdoc to work on micromagnetic modeling of a novel rare-earth-free permanent magnet system. 205 years ago, the founder of the Technical University of Denmark, Prof. H.C. Ørsted, discovered electromagnetism. Since Ørsted’s initial discovery, magnets have become omni-present in our daily life, and they are essential in the green transition as the main components in wind turbines and electric motors in e.g. electric cars. However, the strongest magnets today contain rare-earth m
